Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala have been on the job for less than two weeks as co-CEOs of Vice Media Group. But despite the newness of their current roles, Lokhandwala and Dixon are already well versed in the inner workings of the Brooklyn-based company, having served for several years in senior roles under recently exited CEO Nancy Dubuc. Lokhandwala has been chief strategy officer at VMG since October 2018, and Dixon has held the position of CFO since 2021 and was previously CFO of Vice Studios. Both were brought in by Dubuc — who departed the company Feb. 24 after nearly five years as CEO — and now seek to follow in her footsteps while shaping the future of Vice, a company that has been seeking a buyer over the past year.
Dixon and Lokhandwala opened up to Variety in an interview Tuesday — among their first sitdowns since being named co-CEOs on Feb. 27 — that coincided with the release of Vice’s fourth annual diversity, equity and inclusion report (which reveals, among other stats, that 65% of new hires in the company globally in 2022 were women), as well as the launch of their new brand campaign video (which can be viewed above) featuring a slogan that touts Vice Media as a company “For Everyone Else.” The new leaders of Vice also spoke about the current state of a sale and potential buyers, what the post-Dubuc regime will be like and how Vice-owned titles including “The Dark Side” franchise and Vice Studios’ upcoming HBO doc following the University of Alabama’s TikTok-famous sorority rush week (aka “Bama Rush”) are just the start of building on company-wide IP.
