Vice has a new Executive Chairman. The youth-skewing network has named Michael Lang to the position. Lang is a former CEO of Miramax, was part of the team that launched Hulu, where he was a founding board member, and has worked for companies including Disney, Fox, Universal Music and Discovery.
He was most recently CEO of Pixel United, a mobile games business and joins Vice from the role of Operating Partner at Fortress, the company that acquired it out of bankruptcy earlier this year.
It is the latest change in personnel at the company after Co-CEO Hozefa Lokhandwala exited. In an internal memo to staff, seen by Deadline, Bruce Dixon, who is now sole CEO, said that Lang will “continue the critical restructuring work” and help the “long-term goal of positioning Vice Media for financial stability and future growth”.
In the note, Dixon said that Lang knows co-founder Shane Smith “well” and they have already started talking about “continuing his important role at Vice to ensure the long-term success of the company”.
