Cox Enterprises 高管调整：Clement 升任总裁兼 COO，McBride 出任 CFO 与行政官

Atlanta — Cox Enterprises announced executive leadership team changes on May 14, 2026, to support the company's continued focus on business growth and diversification.

Dallas Clement, currently President and Chief Financial Officer of Cox Enterprises, will become President and Chief Operating Officer. Clement has been with Cox for 35 years and has held executive roles across the company's various business units. He will oversee the company's business operations and lead the expansion of Cox's investment portfolio into new industries, with a focus on emerging businesses that embrace new technologies and align with Cox's long-term values.

"As we continue to shape the future of Cox Enterprises, we will deploy capital with great discipline to invest in growth and diversification strategies," said Alex Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cox Enterprises. "Dallas is a long-time leader at Cox, and there is almost no one I trust more. I have complete confidence in his ability to continue driving Cox's next phase of growth and expanding our corporate portfolio."

Clement will continue to oversee Cox Enterprises' growth operations, strategy and investments, corporate development organization, and the company's venture capital fund, Socium Ventures. He will continue to report directly to Taylor.

Perley McBride, currently Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Cox Communications, will become Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of Cox Enterprises. He will be responsible for the company's finance, technology, corporate services, and sustainability organizations, and will report directly to Taylor.

McBride has more than 30 years of experience in the communications industry, having held positions at domestic and multinational companies. Before joining Cox Communications in 2018, he served as Chief Financial Officer at Frontier Communications, Cable & Wireless PLC, Cricket Communications, and Leap Wireless, and held the role of Executive Vice President of Finance at The Weather Channel.

"Perley is a strong business leader with a long track record of success both inside and outside of Cox," said Taylor. "He is a trusted partner and collaborator who is widely respected within the company. I appreciate everything he has done during his time at Cox Communications and look forward to him joining the Cox Enterprises leadership team."

Taylor was named Chief Executive Officer of Cox Enterprises in 2018. Under his leadership, the company has continuously transformed its business portfolio through acquisitions and investments, entering new industries such as greenhouse agriculture, advanced recycling, public sector technology, and outdoor adventure.

"These leadership changes support our vision for the future of Cox Enterprises. Continuing to diversify our family of businesses and creating new opportunities is one of our most important priorities going forward. I believe we can always rely on strong and adaptable leaders to move us forward," Taylor added.

Clement and McBride will officially assume their new roles this summer.
