Broadsheet Media has promoted Sian Whitaker to the position of Managing Director, effective immediately. Whitaker, who has been with the company since 2018, previously served as General Manager for the past three and a half years.

In her new role, Whitaker will be responsible for connecting strategy, execution, and performance, and will play a crucial role in driving business growth, executing the company's vision and strategic plans, and fostering a high-performance culture.

Nick Shelton, Broadsheet's Publisher and CEO, will continue in his role, focusing on vision setting, broader growth and expansion initiatives, and long-term planning. Whitaker will continue to lead all departments, including Editorial, Commercial, Product, Finance, Operations, and Reader Revenue, and will report directly to Shelton.

"Sian has been an exceptional leader at Broadsheet over the past five years, with our team flourishing under her direction as general manager. Her elevation to managing director is a testament to the trust and confidence we place in her ability to execute our exciting strategic vision. This transition also allows me to focus on exploring new entrepreneurial opportunities for Broadsheet. I couldn't be more excited for this next chapter in our journey," Shelton said.
