Steven Bartlett's 'The Diary of a CEO' Loses Four Key Staffers Amid US Expansion
Steven Bartlett, star host of 'The Diary of a CEO' podcast, has lost four core employees in the past five months as the show grows and expands its media empire beyond the UK. Departing staff include Jack Sylvester (self-described cofounder), executive producer Jem Erith, director of trailers Anthony Smith, and head of failure and experimentation Grace Miller. A FlightStory spokesperson said the departures were planned over nearly a year with Bartlett's support, and all left on good terms. The exits come as the nine-year-old show shifts its center of gravity to the US, with Bartlett recently moving to Los Angeles and opening a production studio. The company, FlightStory, has about 150 employees and generated around $47 million in revenue last year. Bartlett is also expanding into other ventures, including a speakers division and a paid membership program.
