Summary · why it matters

Sean Giancola has announced he is stepping down as Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of New York Post Media Group after more than a decade at the company, including seven years in the top role. A search for a new CEO is underway, and Giancola has agreed to remain with the Post through early next year to ensure a smooth transition. The company said Giancola returned the group to profitability after years of losses, oversaw its transition to a digital-first approach and led its expansion to the West Coast with the launch of The California Post, which in less than a year has become a meaningful part of the state's media ecosystem. As part of that expansion, he oversaw the launch of Page Six Hollywood. News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson credited Giancola with helping the Post turn profitable for the first time in decades, while News Corp Chair Lachlan Murdoch said his vision and commercial capabilities leave behind a stronger, more agile media group. Giancola joined the Post in 2015 as Chief Revenue Officer after serving as Vice President of National Sales at AOL Advertising and holding senior advertising and marketing roles at American Express and Time Inc.
