The newly appointed Quartz CEO, Zach Seward (who replaced founders who were co-CEOs until the end of 2019.) is the February Media speaker. In addition to the shift in top management, the company went through a buy-out and now is in the midst of a pivot from advertising-based to subscription-based. Even in the midst of change, Seward has agreed to answer questions about the company’s operations and the industry as a whole, including:

  • Quartz’s relationship with social media platforms – what are the challenges and the rewards of this complex distribution editorially and financially
  • The tech innovations (e.g., in CMS or metrics or engagement analysis) that Quartz has adopted recently,
  • The managerial challenge of moving out two co-founders
  • How has the new(ish) ownership affects their business day to day and in the long run?

Friend of Quantum, Rebecca Binder of RF Binder, will moderate the event. It will be held at Cohn Resnick, 1301 6th Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets.
