Patrick Brennan

I am a senior global media executive lucky enough to have worked in some of the world’s largest media organizations as well as some of the smallest and just about everything in-between. This has allowed me to accumulate a rich array of management experience and leadership skills across digital, print, events, licensing, revenue generation, business development, business turnaround and most especially discovering and exploiting new revenue generating opportunities.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, my work has spanned the US, Asia, Latin America and Europe where I have been at the forefront of developments that have shaped today’s media world including leading FT.com in the US during its formative years where I aggressively pushed for a paid model that was eventually adopted and now underpins the success of the FT’s transition away from a dependence on print advertising and print readership. I have also been instrumental in successful deal making in such diverse markets as China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, Colombia, Malaysia, Argentina, The US and even Mongolia!

I am a skilled negotiator with a management and business philosophy that is firmly based on treating everyone with fairness, integrity and respect. Over the past 5 years I have led the transition from print to digital across a number of media properties and have driven social media and digital content strategy, created new content marketing businesses and built events and partnerships to drive new revenue streams.

My experience even includes launching print sites for the Financial Times in New Jersey, California, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong.

Outside of the consumer media space, I also led the Nielsen B2B Real Estate and Design Group as group publisher where I was responsible for a stable of very successful brands including Commercial Property News, Contract, Kitchen & Bath Business and Multi Housing News. During this time, I cut my teeth in the face-to-face world driving profitable events businesses ranging from intimate executive summits to large conferences and full scale trade shows.

I am a graduate of the Harvard Business School, PMD Executive Program, where I was selected as class valedictorian.
