Diane Nelson, the former president of DC Entertainment, is leaving the company and her duties will be distributed across her team, Quibi said Tuesday. Nelson, a well-regarded former Warner Bros. executive who helped guide the company’s DC Entertainment division, joined Quibi only a year ago and has been an important part of the Hollywood company’s executive ranks. Quibi aims to start a subscription streaming service in April that will feature programs told in short chapters.
