“We appreciate the tremendous job he has done as our General Counsel,” said John Malone, Liberty Chairman. “We wish him well on his retirement and thank him for his many years of service.”
“I want to thank Charles for his many contributions to Liberty. We have all benefited from his business wisdom and legal skills. He will be greatly missed by me and the entire Liberty team,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty president and CEO. “We're also pleased that Charles will continue to work with Liberty on special projects.”
“We are very excited, however, to welcome an attorney of Rich Baer’s caliber to the team,” Maffei added. “Rich brings an extraordinary breadth of experience to Liberty from his time at UnitedHealth, Qwest and Sherman & Howard and in fact, represented Liberty while in private practice.”
