Executive management changes at the Guardian pursue global goal

The Guardian Media Group has made changes to its senior executive team as it pursues a more integrated global strategy and hired a deputy chief executive responsible for The Guardian’s commercial operations in the UK, US and Australia.

The announcement:

Andrew Miller, CEO, Guardian Media Group (GMG), today announces a series of executive management changes that will further solidify the Guardian’s position as a leading global news organisation. Designed to build on the organisation’s ongoing strong performance – which has seen digital revenues grow by almost 30% in the last financial year and losses significantly reduced across the Guardian News and Media (GNM) business – today’s changes reflect the increased opportunities for growth and investment both in the UK and globally.

David Pemsel, currently GNM’s Chief Commercial Officer, takes on increased accountability for the GNM business in the newly-created role of Deputy Chief Executive, GNM. Pemsel will assume overall responsibility for all commercial operations in the UK, the US and Australia and, in so doing, will integrate and lead all three businesses into one truly global organisation. He will grow the strong domestic functions – Marketing and Audience Insight, Advertising Sales, Guardian Jobs, Guardian Labs, Consumer Revenues, Membership, and Commercial Delivery – into global functions, supporting the work of GNM’s international businesses.
