Revolt CEO Keith Clinkscales has stepped down from his role at the company, TheWrap has learned.
In a memo sent to staffers on Thursday, Clinkscales announced his departure from the music-themed network that was founded by Sean “Puffy” Combs, thanking his team and assuring them that the company remains on “exceptional footing.”
Chief Operating Officer Derek Ferguson will temporarily take the reins while Revolt searches for Clinkscales’ replacement.
Clinkscales has served as CEO at Revolt since 2013, when he was appointed to the position by Combs, who is the company’s chairman. Before taking on this role, Clinkscales spent eight years as a senior vice president at ESPN, four years as chairman and CEO at Vanguarde Media and eight years as president/CEO at VIBE.
