DeBevoise has been named president and chief operating officer of the CBS Corp. internet division, taking over the role of president from CBSI CEO Jim Lanzone, who was promoted to chief digital officer at CBS earlier this month.
DeBevoise has been with CBSI since 2011, most recently serving as executive vp and general manager of CBS Digital Media, where he oversaw the digital business for the CBS Television Network.

“Marc has played an instrumental role in building CBS Interactive into a perennial top 10 internet property and the largest internet-based premium-content group in the world,” said Lanzone. “Since joining CBS Interactive, Marc has led some of the most significant areas of the business, specifically building CBS All Access and CBSN into highly successful digital initiatives for CBS. I look forward to working closely with Marc as we lead the business into the next generation of digital content.”

Elevating Marc into this expanded role, on the heels of Jim becoming our chief digital officer, ensures that we will continue down a path of innovation, finding new ways to distribute our world-class content however consumers want to interact with it.”
