Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng sent out the following on Thursday:
Team,
Today we’re announcing a few changes to our team.
Our Chief Revenue Officer, Maggie Milnamow, is leaving Business Insider for a new position that she will share more about soon.
Since joining four years ago, Maggie has had an outsized impact on Business Insider, and I’m deeply grateful to her for the energy, clarity, and conviction she brought to our organization. Under her leadership, we deepened our client relationships — securing some of the largest partnerships in our company’s history — and raised the bar for how we serve partners in smart, meaningful ways. In addition, she led the launch of our events business, which is already off to a momentous start and exceeding expectations. And as you all know, Maggie’s presence at Business Insider continuously filled us all with an infectious optimism that we will miss.
Please join me in thanking Maggie and wishing her every success in her next chapter.
Our Global Head of Sales, Orlando Reece, has also made the decision to depart Business Insider. Orlando has been an important leader here, and we’re deeply grateful for the impact he’s had on our sales organization, our client relationships, and the teams he built and supported along the way. Everyone who has worked with Orlando has experienced his rare ability to lift an entire room with his warmth and enthusiasm.
We thank Orlando for his leadership, partnership, and dedication, and we wish him the very best!
As we look ahead, I have the utmost confidence in our strategy and our team — we have experienced leadership that is well-positioned for what’s ahead:
- Anthony DeMario will step in as interim Head of Sales and report to me. He’s a proven leader who has led sales organizations at The Washington Post and Bloomberg and will bring his expertise and strong relationships across the organiztion.
- Hannah Diddarna, who has a track record of success at Google, Bloomberg, and here at Business Insider, will report to me and step into an expanding leadership role, continuing to lead B2B marketing, creative studios, and the events business.
- Ryan Dadd, our general manager of video, will continue to lead the business of video and report to Steve Lagnado.
As we search for our next CRO, I’m excited to work more closely with the advertising team and continue building alongside such a talented group of leaders and teammates.
Thank you all,
Barbara
