Vice Media Group has announced the closing of its Refinery29 acquisition and changes to its top management team
sector, as Facebook and Google continue to pose a stiff challenge in the advertising arena.
Refinery29 Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Philippe von Borries and Justin Stefano will step away from day-to-day operations into advisory roles with the new leadership team, Vice said. Co-Founder Christene Barberich, meanwhile, will continue her role as Global Editor-in-Chief, and Refinery29 and Co-Founder Piera Gelardi will be Executive Creative Director of Refinery29.
Hosi Simon, a 13-year veteran of Vice and formerly Chief Development Officer, will become Chief Operating Officer. He will oversee international operations, shared services including production and marketing, across VICE’s five lines of business – Studios, Television, Digital, News and Virtue as well as Pulse Productions, i-D and Garage.
George Rogers, formerly Chief Development Officer at Refinery, will become Chief Client Officer, reporting directly to Dominique Delport, President, International and Chief Revenue Officer. Rogers will oversee partnerships across all lines of our advertising business globally. In addition to Ward and Simon, Dubuc’s direct reports include: Jesse Angelo, President Global News and Entertainment; Thomas Benski, CEO of Pulse Films; Danielle Carrig, Chief Communications Officer; Dominique Delport, President, International and Chief Revenue Officer; Hozefa Lokhandwala, Chief Strategy Officer; Joseph Simon, Chief Technology Officer; Susan Tohyama, Chief Human Resources Officer; and Lucinda Treat, Chief Legal Officer.
