SAN FRANCISCO, CA – June 6, 2023 – Fandom, the world’s largest fan platform, has added two seasoned executives to its C-Suite with the addition of Peter Mansour as Chief Product Officer and Jeremy Steinberg as Chief Revenue Officer. Both will report to Perkins Miller, CEO of Fandom.
Mansour is responsible for the product vision, strategy and execution across the company’s interconnected portfolio of brands, including creating tools and experiences that superserve its more than 350 million active monthly users across every step of their consumer journey - reference, community, trends, ratings, reviews, news and commerce. He will lead a global team building innovative tools, features and experiences to enhance and connect each of the platforms and sites within the company’s diverse fan portfolio including Fandom wikis, Gamespot, TV Guide, Metacritic and Fanatical. Mansour is a seasoned product executive, previously holding executive positions at eBay and Microsoft as well as CEO positions at Sproqit Technologies and InfoSpace/Howstuffworks.com. He joined the company in Q1 of this year and is based in Kirkland, WA.
Steinberg will lead the company’s global revenue teams, driving accelerated media sales and building out enhanced affiliate, commerce and data monetization. He will continue to grow Fandom’s advertising partnerships across the portfolio through best-in-class targeted media, immersive custom solutions and premium, insights-led partnerships. He’s a proven tech and media executive who spent more than two decades in sales and revenue leadership, with extensive experience in both direct media sales as well as programmatic and data-driven product development and commercialization. Prior to joining Fandom, Steinberg was the Chief Revenue Officer and GM at Yieldmo, Global Head of Ecosystem at MediaMath, and Global Head of Sales at IBM Watson/The Weather Company. Steinberg is based in Connecticut.
“We're thrilled to have Peter and Jeremy join us to build on the momentum, massive reach, and world-class brands at Fandom,” said Miller. "Peter has been a product innovator and leader at the highest scale and has already demonstrated big impact, and Jeremy has had equally significant revenue, product and strategic accomplishments on the largest tech and media stages. I'm confident that they will help us continue to transform and grow the world's largest independent entertainment platform."
