      • A conversation with Former Meredith Corporation CEO Steve Lacy

        On the latest episode of the Amner Martinez Podcast, Steve gets on the mic and discusses the qualities of being a good leader and often times the difficult decisions that have to be made in order to be an effective leader in the work place. Stay tuned for new episode🔥

        Steve Lacy is a prominent figure in the media and marketing industry, known for his transformative leadership at Meredith Corporation. Joining Meredith as chief financial officer in 1998, Lacy quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming president and CEO in 2006, and later chairman and CEO in 2009. Under his guidance, Meredith's digital, broadcasting, and publishing groups flourished, with a focus on content creation that resonated with their audience.
        One of Lacy's key achievements was redefining Meredith as a content creation business rather than just a magazine, TV, or digital company. This shift in perspective allowed Meredith to deliver inspirational and informational content to women through various platforms, including magazines, tablets, mobile devices, and websites. This approach proved immensely successful, with Meredith's National Media brands reaching an impressive 100 million women each month and generating over $1.1 billion in yearly revenue.
