Dish Network is making some changes within its senior management team.

Erik Carlson, who’s been with Dish for 20 years, has been named President and Chief Operating Officer. In his new role, Carlson will supervise all Dish revenue-generating, operating and administrative units.

Current Dish COO and EVP Bernie Han was named EVP of Strategic Planning and will continue reporting to Dish Chairman and CEO Charlie Ergen.
Ergen will no longer be President of Dish.

“Bernie’s unparalleled depth as an operational and financial leader will be indispensable as we advance our work on the strategic transformation of Dish, including our entry into the wireless industry,” said Ergen. “Erik joined us just before our first satellite launch and has consistently demonstrated remarkable leadership across his many assignments throughout our business.”

Earlier this year Ergen reassumed the role as CEO, taking over for the retiring Joseph Clayton.
