Longtime Nat Geo Marketing and Communications Exec Chris Albert Set to Depart After More Than Two Decades (EXCLUSIVE)


Longtime National Geographic marketing and communications exec Chris Albert is departing the company after more than two decades.

Longtime National Geographic marketing and communications exec Chris Albert, known for his stylish sartorial choices themed to the channel’s various events (and spawning the social media hashtag “#wearischris”), is departing the company after more than two decades. The exec will oversee Nat Geo ‘s presence at the D23 confab this weekend, and then plans to exit after Labor Day, when his current contract expires. Albert is believed to have been planning his exit for some time, and the news is unrelated to last week’s announcement that National Geographic would lay off 60 employees, or about 13% of its team.
