Seasoned journalist Chaacha Mwita has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Editor (CEE) for the Standard Group.
In an official notice by the group's CEO, Marion Mwangi, Mwita will be responsible for all content production divisions and content support divisions effective the date of his appointment.
His appointment follows a series of challenges in the media house that saw its former CEO, Orlando Lyomu, forced to resign after overseeing an expansion that almost collapsed the company with debt. "The Standard Group PLC announces the appointment of Chaacha Mwita as the group's Chief Executive Editor (CEE).
In this capacity, Chaacha will be responsible for all content production divisions and content support divisions, reporting to the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and aiding in the provision of strategic leadership for the entire organisation," the statement read in part.
