President and CEO at American Public Media Group

I am very excited to share the news that I'm joining the talented team at American Public Media Group as President and Chief Executive Officer! I am lifetime fan of public media, but so much is new - I'll not only be their first female CEO, we also have new opportunities in these times to strengthen communities through our great journalism and quality programming. This is a terrific opportunity for me with a truly great organization, and it is an exciting time of growth and learning. APMG is building on its existing quality to reach and serve new audiences. I hope you'll follow our work and progress, on air & online.

I want to add my enthusiastic welcome to Jean Taylor as the new President & CEO of the American Public Media Group–-what a TERRIFIC choice! Jean is one of my all-time favorite human beings. I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with and learning from Jean for some time, and I know her passion for our mission, exceptional experience, understanding of our unique organizations, her vision and character are all such a great match for the future of our public service. This is just FANTASTIC!

Exciting news Jean! MPR member for 26 years here! I remember our lunch a bit over two years ago about digital media, Star Tribune, and a lot about Minnesota Public Radio! Thanks Jim Bernard for the intro. There is much untapped value in the content and community of MPR — won't be easy, but digital transformations never are.

Thrilled you are taking on this vital role. MPR is a critical Minnesota asset, yet it shows signs of straying from its core mission as it competes in today's media and information environment. I wish you all the best.
