Last fall, he was promoted to Bloomberg Media's U.S. head of sales. And as of today, he's set to become the company's new global chief revenue officer. Grossman joined Bloomberg in July 2014, not long after Justin Smith took over as Bloomberg Media CEO following a successful run as president of the Atlantic Media Company. Under Smith, Bloomberg expanded its editorial coverage, overhauled its website and completely reorganized its sales strategy, which entailed retraining the company's entire sales team to sell across platforms rather than focusing on specific silos like print, digital or TV. Smith told Adweek via email that he "pursued Grossman for a decade" before finally getting him to make the move to Bloomberg. "Keith is the definition of extreme talent—brilliant, curious, creative, relentless and always on," Smith added. "I am thrilled he will take charge of our global sales and marketing efforts and look forward to a remarkable run under his leadership." As Bloomberg's digital publisher and, since last fall, as head of U.S. sales, Grossman helped grow the company's revenue by double digits. And things are continuing to look up for 2016.
