July, Ms. Drew will become Chief Sustainability Officer at Standard
Chartered Bank.
Mr. Sanchez’s experience includes 30 years as a private practice
attorney and investor and he holds current board positions at
Discovery and Liberty Latin America. He is a candidate for the
Development Committee of the Smithsonian Museum of the American
Latino and is active in Latinos for Education, which connects
diverse leaders to the education sector to create equity and
opportunity for Latino youth. He has previously held board
positions at Lionsgate and Starz.
John Malone, Chairman of Liberty Global, commented, “Dave Rapley

for our business and employees around the world. I wish him well in
all of his future endeavours.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Marisa and Dan to the Liberty Global

ESG will be a strong complement to our focus on corporate
responsibility, diversity and inclusion. I would also like to thank
