The right leader is product oriented, commercially fluent, and credible inside the network ecosystem from day one.
Elevate talent density across the organization, establish decision rights, execution cadences, and accountability frameworks that increase speed without disrupting the customer trust the platform has earned.

Own the company's strategic direction, market positioning, and competitive response across cable, broadcast, and adjacent television buyers.

Build and lead a tight knit leadership team, preserving the institutional knowledge and customer relationships that have defined Star Media for more than three decades.
This is a value creating enterprise SaaS leader who sees AI not as a feature but as a structural advantage embedded in how they build, operate, and create enduring competitive distance for the businesses they lead.
Identify and act on AI driven opportunities to reposition the product and create durable competitive distance, including how Nielsen, Comscore, and VideoAmp data are processed, surfaced, and licensed.
Champion AI first product thinking, identifying where automation, predictive insights, and intelligent workflows create durable differentiation in audience measurement and ratings analytics.

Owned the P&L and operational outcomes for a B2B SaaS organization, business unit or media division function, driving direct accountability for revenue growth and margin expansion.
Built a repeatable go to market engine, establishing scalable sales and expansion motions within a vertical or enterprise SaaS environment.
Led an organization through a meaningful inflection point (a product repositioning, a pricing model redesign, a market expansion) before the market forced the change.
Delivered measurable structural improvements to net revenue retention and pricing power, turning margin durability from a strategic priority into a realized business outcome.
Deep familiarity with the cable and broadcast network ecosystem, including the buyers, workflows, and economics of ad supported television research, sales, and stewardship. Direct experience with Nielsen, Comscore, VideoAmp, or comparable audience measurement data is strongly preferred.
