In a strategic move aimed at enhancing its leadership amid industry dynamics, Screenvision Media has appointed Jeff Howe as the new Interim Chief Executive Officer. This announcement, made on January 8, 2026, follows the stepping down of John Partilla (referred to as J.P.), who has played a pivotal role in shaping the company's trajectory over the last decade.

A Proven Executive Leader

Jeff Howe brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Renowned for his business acuity, Howe has held multiple executive positions that attest to his capabilities in driving sustainable revenue growth and operational excellence. Prior to joining Screenvision, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at HD Supply, where he managed a large team, generating over $3 billion in annual revenue. His extensive background includes significant leadership roles at Windstream Enterprise, underscoring his proficiency in sales and customer engagement across various sectors. These experiences position him well to steer Screenvision through this transitional phase.

Mr. Howe expressed enthusiasm for his new role, stating, "I have seen firsthand the exceptional work the Screenvision team has done to establish the company as a leader in cinema advertising, and I am excited to lead the business during this transition." In his interim role, Howe aims to enhance Screenvision's capacity to provide immersive and premium advertising experiences, which are increasingly sought after by contemporary marketers.

Looking Ahead

During this transition, Howe is committed to maintaining operational continuity and supports the staff at all levels to ensure that Screenvision remains competitive in the evolving landscape of cinema advertising. He concluded, "As we conduct a comprehensive search to identify the right leader for Screenvision's next phase of growth, I will be focused on supporting our team members across the organization."

On the other hand, J.P. reflected on his tenure, remarking, "My last 10 years of leading this company have been a rare privilege. Together, we've driven record revenue years and navigated the challenges of the pandemic. It's time for new challenges and opportunities, and I will always cherish my time here."
