Proven, Growth-Oriented Executive Jeff Howe Appointed Interim CEO
NEW YORK, N.Y., January 8, 2025 – Screenvision Media, a national leader in delivering comprehensive
premium video advertising and content representation services for top-tier cinema exhibitors, today
announced the appointment of Jeff Howe as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. He
succeeds John Partilla (J.P.), who is stepping down from his role.
Mr. Howe is a seasoned executive leader with a proven track record of driving sustainable revenue
growth, profitability and operational discipline at complex organizations across a range of industries.
Throughout his career, he has held numerous cross-functional executive roles overseeing sales,
operations, commercial execution and customer engagement. Previously, he served as Chief Revenue
Officer at HD Supply, where he oversaw a team of 1,500 professionals generating more than $3 billion in
revenue. Earlier in his career, he held a variety of senior leadership positions at Windstream Enterprise,
including Executive Vice President of Sales & Customer Support, where he drove significant revenue and
market-share gains across four strategic verticals. Mr. Howe is also a member of the Screenvision Board
of Directors.
“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,” said Mr.
Howe. “Advertisers today are continuing to look for new ways to reach their target audiences, and
Screenvision’s ability to deliver premium, immersive experiences offers brands a powerful platform
through which to create meaningful connections and drive measurable impact with engaged audiences.
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 to ensure Screenvision
is best positioned to execute at the highest level. I look forward to working closely with the Board and
leadership team to effect a seamless transition and continue building on the strong foundation J.P. and
this team have established over the past decade.”
“My last 10 years of leading this company have been a rare privilege,” said Mr. Partilla. “Together, we’ve
driven record revenue years, successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic and positioned
ourselves for future growth and innovation. Now is the right time to look ahead to new challenges and
opportunities, though I will always cherish this chapter.”
