Jeana Stanley, Hearst vice president of finance, died June 26 in Tierra Verde, Fla. She was 54.
Stanley joined Hearst’s corporate finance team as vice president in August 2018, where she was responsible for overseeing internal audit and employee benefit functions.
“Jeana was a unique, dynamic executive, having gained operational finance experience at the local television station level, and applied that across our broadcasting business and ultimately for the corporation,” said Hearst President and Chief Executive Officer Steven Swartz. “She was always engaging, on the cusp of new trends and ready to implement them.”
“Jeana was a trusted partner and key driver in our efforts to evaluate opportunities and look for new ways to augment the services and corporate finance capabilities we offer to our 360-plus businesses,” said Mitchell Scherzer, Hearst executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We extend our condolences to her family. Our colleagues at Hearst will miss her.”
