Hearst Magazines UK Installs New CEO Ahead of Global Expansion Plan

James Wildman the chief revenue officer at Trinity Mirror has been tapped by Hearst Magazines to serve as President and CEO of Hearst Magazines UK. He joins ahead of global expansion plans to be fueled by what David Carey said should be an "ambitious acquisition strategy" as well as strong growth in 2016. He replaces Anna Jones who stepped down late last year to launch an investment firm that will finance female lead companies. Mr. Wildman officially starts in the spring and Hearst Magazines President David Carey couldn't be happier with the pick

“James is entrepreneurial and has a strong track record of transforming media businesses. He understands the U.K., European and global marketplace, and has a clear vision of how we can continue to move our business forward. He will be a dynamic leader of Hearst Magazines U.K., which we plan to expand in the years ahead.”
