Gregg Zegras is promoted to SVP- consumer health, iVillage from SVP - iVillage Parenting Network.
Adam Wiener is promoted to SVP-iVillage Media from SVP and GM Healthology.
Carla Wojnaroski joins as VP-editorial from MedZine; Betsy Alexander moves from the Today Show to VP-iVillage-Today Show integration where she’ll be responsible for “driving integration” between iVillage, the Today Show and MSNBC; Juan Lopez-Valcarcel joins as VP-strategy from the media and entertainment group of Booz Allen Hamilton.

News Corp.: Chase Carey, president of and CEO of DirecTV and one of Rupert Murdoch’s go-to guys, will resign from the News Corp. board once the planned asset swap between the company and Liberty Media closes. Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei has made no secret of his hope that Carey will stay with DirecTV once majority ownership switches. (Via AP.)
