Sean Giancola Steps Down as CEO and Publisher of New York Post

Sean Giancola, CEO and publisher of New York Post Media Group, announced on Tuesday that he is stepping down after more than a decade with the publication. Giancola has served as CEO for over seven years and will remain in the role until early next year to assist with the transition as the company searches for a new CEO, according to a press release. Giancola stated, "Leading the New York Post Media Group has been an immense privilege." He expressed pride in the accomplishments during his tenure, which included expanding the brand into a national publication and enhancing digital platforms. Under his leadership, The California Post was launched this year, along with Page Six Hollywood and a new entertainment newsletter. Giancola also returned the media group to profitability and led its digital transformation, which included the development of mobile apps and the launch of Hamilton, a free AI tool integrated into the apps. Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp, praised Giancola for his leadership during a challenging period for the media industry. Giancola joined The Post in 2015 as chief revenue officer after previous roles at AOL Advertising, American Express, and Time Inc.
