Bauer Media COO Paul Keenan set to leave the company after 16 years

Paul Keenan is step down from his role as Group Chief Operating Officer and Executive Board Member of Bauer Media Group.

He’ll leave on 30th September then continue to work with Bauer as an advisor.

“I have been preparing for this for a while; my shift in focus will enable me to continue working with Bauer while also pursuing other interests. I am hugely excited by this change in direction and the opportunities it brings,” says Paul.

Paul started his career with Bauer in 2008 managing its UK consumer businesses. He led the transformation of Bauer’s radio business and joined the Executive Board as COO three years ago.

Yvonne Bauer, Bauer CEO and Owner: “Paul is an immensely talented, entrepreneurial and driven member of our team.

“He has been integral to the transformation of our business and on-going success, and I am looking forward to continuing our work together on new projects and initiatives in the future.

“His vision and ambition for the expansion of our radio business has changed Bauer for good.”

Earlier this year, Group CFO Anna Sedgley announced her departure from Bauer, whilst Director of Music Pete Black also stepped down.

Last year, the company also saw the departure of Group Managing Director Dee Ford, Chief Strategic Partnerships & Events Officer Steve Parkinson, and Graham Bryce, Chief Operating Officer.
