Geoff Schiller, former CRO at Vox Media, is set to become CEO of cinema ad network Screenvision.

The move marks Schiller’s first departure from the digital publishing industry in 25 years. Vox Media sold half the company — including the Vox Media podcast network and New York Magazine — to James Murdoch for a reported $300 million last week.

Schiller told Digiday the move wasn’t because he’s soured on digital publishing, but because he was drawn to leading Screenvision at an interesting time for the theater industry, as well as his personal passion for film, calling himself a “lifelong cinephile.” He will start the role on June 8.

“This is a chance to lead a scaled media platform at an important moment for the company and for the industry. The decision for me was entirely about the opportunity at Screenvision, and the long-term potential I see in the Screenvision business, as well as the category writ large,” he told Digiday.
