New Roles For Connoisseur’s Okesson & Bevins

• Connoisseur Media announced two strategic leadership transitions within its organization following the proposed acquisition of Alpha Media’s radio stations. These changes take effect June 9 and reflect the company’s commitment to continuity, growth, and the integration of new properties into the Connoisseur family:

Kristin Okesson, currently the Senior Vice President and Market Manager of Connoisseur Connecticut, will expand her responsibilities to now oversee the company’s Long Island radio stations. Okesson brings decades of experience, a deep understanding of local suburban New York market dynamics, and a proven track record of audience engagement, operational excellence along with cultivating client and community relationships.

In conjunction with these changes, David Bevins, Chief Operating Officer of Connoisseur Media, who has been overseeing Long Island operations for the past five years in addition to his corporate responsibilities, will now focus on major corporate initiatives and play a key role in managing the transition of Alpha Media into Connoisseur Media.

“These leadership changes reflect our confidence in our team and our vision for Connoisseur’s future,” said Jeff Warshaw, CEO of Connoisseur Media. “Kristin and David exemplify the kind of forward-thinking, community-driven leadership that defines our brand. As we grow, we are excited to have their expertise guiding both our legacy markets and new additions.”
