Separately, Charter said that executive VP corporate finance and development Charles Fisher will add full oversight of all treasury activities, which previously reported to Fischer. He will continue to manage all aspects of Charter’s capital markets, M&A and strategic investing activity, and will continue to provide corporate development for Spectrum Reach and Spectrum Enterprise.
Since joining Charter in 2017 Fischer has overseen the company's treasury and cash management activities, risk management, and directed Charter’s operational and strategic tax groups. Prior to Charter she was a partner in the National Tax Department at EY, where she advised clients on the tax structuring and implementation of partnership transactions in the media and telecommunications space, including advising Charter on its transactions with Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks in 2016.
