Civic Media Announces New Executive Structure
• Civic Media announced a restructuring of leadership at the three-year-old radio and Internet publishing startup, effective immediately. To that end, Civic CEO Sage Weil has named key executives to expanded roles as the company continues its growth across the Upper Midwest.
The new leadership structure includes former VP of Operations Kory Hartman being promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO), overseeing day-to-day operations across Civic Media’s expanding footprint.
Regional leadership has also been restructured to better serve the company’s markets, as Chris Moreau is named President, Southern Region, and Darla Isham has been appointed Vice President, Northern Region. Additional executive appointments include: Aaron Carreno as Senior Vice President of Product; John Scott as Vice President of Marketing; and Drew Smith as Vice President of Technology
“This leadership restructuring reflects our commitment to providing exceptional service to our listeners and communities across our coverage areas,” said Weil. “Each of these executives brings deep experience and a passion for local broadcasting that aligns perfectly with our mission to serve as the voice of our communities.”
The reorganization comes as Civic Media continues to expand its presence across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, with recent acquisitions strengthening the company’s ability to deliver local news and programming to underserved markets via multiple platforms.
Hartman added, “I’m excited about the accountability and transparency this new structure creates for both our team and the communities we serve. Having dedicated regional leadership ensures we can maintain our local focus as we grow strategically across the region.”
