Times Mirror Co. on Thursday announced two appointments to its corporate staff and elected Los Angeles Times Publisher and Chief Executive Richard T. Schlosberg III to a seat on its board of directors.

The Los Angeles-based parent of the The Times and other information companies named Steven J. Schoch, formerly a vice president and treasurer at Euro Disney, to the position of vice president and treasurer, effective Monday.

Victor A. “Chip” Perry III, formerly vice president of strategic alliances at The Times, was named to the new position of vice president of corporate development, effective immediately.

Schoch, 37, will oversee finance, cash management, bank relations, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures and working capital management, as well as the pension and financial analysis group. He was with Walt Disney Co. for four years, most recently being responsible for management of treasury and insurance matters for Euro Disney. In his new post, Schoch replaces Alan L. Ross, who is leaving at the end of the year to pursue other interests.

Perry, 42, will work with senior managers to develop and implement new growth and development plans at Times Mirror and its operating companies. Perry was with Times Mirror from 1988 to 1991 and rejoined the parent company in 1992. Most recently, he was responsible for several strategic growth initiatives and capital investment programs at both The Times and Times Mirror.

Both Schoch and Perry will report to Tom Unterman, Times Mirror’s senior vice president and chief financial officer.

The appointment of Schlosberg, 51, to the board is effective immediately and brings to 17 the number of directors.
