CBS said she’ll transition to a consulting role in November to advise CBS Sports on corporate and media relations issues as a client of her firm.
A successor to Wade will be named at a later date, the company said.
Wade, who was promoted to senior VP in 2008, will be wrapping up a 17-year stint in-house at CBS, which she joined from USA Networks.
"There's nobody better in a crisis, and her knowledge of the ins and outs of the sports communications game, and the people on the field, is unequaled," said Gil Schwartz, executive VP and chief communications officer at CBS Corp.
Earlier, she was sports information director at Fordham University and Manhattan College.
