Media Guru: Justin Smith, Former CEO Bloomberg, Founds News Startup: Why?

Justin Smith

Justin Smith has been a leader at gigantic, medium and small media companies – Bloomberg (9 years), Atlantic Media, (6 years) and The Week   (5 years). Mike Bloomberg, a serious innovator himself, has called Smith one of the “smartest and most innovative people in media.” Now, Smith wants to radically step away from the perception and processes of current news organizations to begin anew.

In this 60 minute fireside chat,  via Zoom, we will ask Smith about his management style and processes and how they changed over the years, with different companies and different owners. How are Smith’s experiences in huge corporations relevant to this startup? And why a startup?

Media Guru events are well-known for their “no speeches, no Power Point” promise: Just compelling one-on-one conversation with a fascinating personality making news in the media business, followed by Q+A from the audience.  Quantum Media Principal, Ava Seave, will be moderating this event on Tuesday, March 15, 6:30 pm.  To sign up for this event, check out the Harvard Business School announcement page. 


Quantum Media organizes both the Media Guru and Media Disruptor series in conjunction with the Harvard Business School Club of Greater New York. Occasionally, we may also recommend other media events to our mailing list.

The Media Guru and Media Disruptor series feature top business leaders and innovators speaking to club members and guests in informal sessions about the art and business of media. The talks are formatted as question and answer and are generally off the record. Media Guru and Media Disruptor events are breakfasts or after work events and are held at different venues around the city. Subscribe to the mailing list for schedule and details.
