EXCLUSIVE: The Great Resignation has claimed another top TV studio PR executive, Chris Alexander, who is stepping down as EVP of Publicity and Corporate Communications for Disney Television Studios.

He is departing after combined three decades at Disney and Fox, including 13 years as head of publicity for 20th Century Fox Television and Disney TV Studios.

Alexander’s last day will be Aug. 5, and he plans to take some time off before contemplating his next move.As a professional communications executive, Alexander explained his decision to leave in a statement whose style will be very familiar to the dozens of recipients of his famous holiday letter that he has been doing for almost as long as he has worked in PR.“In March, I received an email congratulating me on 30 years at the Walt Disney Company,” Alexander said. “While I certainly appreciated the acknowledgement, it became a wake up call of sorts.

I’ve had a fantastic run and some wonderful experiences, but I realized that I want to do more than one thing in this life, and 30 years seems like a good round number on which to end.
