Media Guru: Hearst President & CEO Steven Swartz Discusses Growth and Diversification In The Company’s 135th Year (virtual)

Steve Swartz

Join members of Quantum Media via the Harvard Business School Club for a captivating discussion with Hearst’s President & CEO, Steven Swartz to discuss opportunities, challenges, disruption in media and critical leadership lessons as a privately-held organization. Thursday, November 17, 6 pm ET, ZOOM. 

Hearst is a leading global, diversified information, services and media company with operations in 40 countries. In a recent Axios article, it highlights that 10 years ago Hearst’s, data and software portfolio represented less than 10% of profits and in 2022 it will be “north of 40%.”

Swartz will discuss how the diversification of Hearst has led to its continued success in the face of challenges in the media landscape. He will touch upon the shifts in the media space and how things will continue to shift in the future. Swartz will also talk about the unique challenges and opportunities of leading one of the largest privately held media companies as well as his experience as a journalist and now leader of one of the nation’s largest global, diversified information, services and media companies.
