David Hillman has been named executive vice president, chief legal officer and secretary of iHeartMedia.
Hillman will now look after the radio and podcast conglomerate’s business and government affairs and privacy teams. He will also head up regulatory and corporate governance matters.
Most recently Hillman was chief legal officer of Venu Sports, a joint venture between Disney, Fox and Warner Brothers that never made it to air after a court injunction from rival Fubo.
He also served as general counsel of CBS News and CBS Sports for Paramount Global for eight years before the short-lived stint at Venu. He was also previously general counsel at Simon & Schuster.
‘iHeart is the leader in the audio space in America, backed by a management team deeply committed to growth and innovation and I’m excited to join and contribute to what’s next,’ Hillman says in a press release. ‘I look forward to working with iHeart’s leadership, partners and the talented legal team to help advance the company across every corner of the audio landscape.’
Hillman received his law degree from Fordham University. He replaces the outgoing Jordan Fasbender, who is now chief counsel at Comcast/NBC Universal’s Spinco.
