Nancy Dubuc has stepped down as CEO at Vice Media Group, following a five-year tenure.

Vice, which is currently looking for a buyer, joined the youth-skewing company in 2018 following a two decade-long stint at A+E Networks, where she rose to become CEO.

Her arrival at Vice followed a flurry of allegations against its founder Shane Smith, who subsequently stepped back from the company’s operations.

The firm has since faced ongoing challenges, as the allegations, advertising shifts and declining audiences hit its profitability. Vice said it would name new leadership “soon”.

The company is home to UK-based Gangs Of London producer Pulse Films, as well as the Vice TV network, the Vice Studios film & TV unit, a distribution arm and Refinery29.
