Struggling cable television operator Charter Communications, Inc., has snagged an experienced chief restructuring officer and general counsel in Gregory Doody, a corporate turnaround expert who has helped oversee the rehabilitation of two major companies in the past six years.

The St. Louis–based company hired Doody to serve as its chief restructuring officer in March, when Charter filed for a prearranged Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but Doody originally joined last December to assist with the company’s financial restructuring. In May, Doody, who is 44, also accepted the post of general counsel. He replaces former GC Grier Raclin, now Charter’s chief administrative officer.
