Interesting, good find.
At first I thought "What?!" But after reading her credentials, it sounds like she's done some good stuff.
Corporate leadership changes are always "interesting". Every new CEO wants to put their fingerprints on the blueprints. And the accounting ledger. This would make me nervous if I were DC and my series was tied into someone else's "vision"
And what, exactly, happened to the former President of Feld...
"July 25, 2024 (Palmetto, FL) – Feld Entertainment, Inc., the world’s largest privately-owned live entertainment company, today announced Juliette Feld Grossman has been named the third CEO in the company’s 57-year history, representing the third generation of Feld Family leadership. Stephen Yaros, Senior Vice President of Global Media and Supercross, has been named President of Feld Entertainment. Kenneth Feld will remain Chair of the Board of Directors.
In her new role as CEO, Grossman will lead the company and develop new opportunities for the organization. She joined the company in 2010 and most recently held the position of Chief Operating Officer. She has led the transformation of Monster Jam into a global franchise that entertains and connects to millions of fans through live events, consumer products, and media. She has also managed production development for Disney On Ice and the recently relaunched Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
“I am honored to take on this role and build upon the strong foundation and legacy established by my father and grandfather. I work with a remarkable team of Associates and it’s in concert with them that we will continue to bring joy to our fans worldwide and position our company for the future,” said Grossman.
Current Chair and CEO Kenneth Feld has guided Feld Entertainment’s success through the past four decades. He first joined his father, Irvin Feld, in the family business in 1970.
“We are in a strong position to implement this leadership transition for the future of Feld Entertainment as the past two years have been the most successful in our company’s history,” said Kenneth Feld. “I am confident that the extraordinary leadership and vision of Juliette, Steve, and our senior executive team will continue to produce exceptional results for the organization.”
Stephen Yaros is being promoted within Feld Entertainment to President and will build upon his experience taking on new initiatives and managing complex cross-functional endeavors. Joining the company in 1990, Yaros has held positions in event marketing & sales, corporate communications, media monetization, and digital marketing. In recent years, he has taken responsibility for the company’s media rights negotiations and its expansion of scripted and unscripted content for all Feld Entertainment properties, as well as overseeing business operations for Supercross and was instrumental with the team that launched the newly formed 31-round Super Motocross World Championship televised on Peacock and through the SMX Video Pass in more than 130 countries worldwide.
The company recognizes the contributions of Mike Shannon over his 18 years as President of Feld Entertainment. Shannon was instrumental in developing a culture of collaboration and teamwork across the organization, including the integration of Feld’s acquisition of Supercross and Monster Jam and the buildout of Feld Entertainment Studios, the company’s 47-acre complex in Palmetto, Florida.
Executive Vice Presidents, Nicole Feld and Alana Feld, will continue their responsibilities on the Board of Directors, providing strategic direction on the company’s major initiatives."
Nepotism is rad
Hopefully she won't be as cheap as the last CEO. Feld is not noted for helping others achieve their retirement goals. At least not the ones who make the show for us to enjoy.

I always like to remind me Dad of what a failure he was not leaving me with a successfully family business to take over. What a dick.
When you are private you can pretty much do whatever you want.
I feel lIke Feld being pprivate and the nnepotism is the oonly reason we still have SX.
It’s strange when the people that hate on DEI have no problem with Nepotism…
I have a problem with both, and everyone I know that understands DEI is unfair and dangerous feels the same way about nepotism
anyone know what SX and SMX turnover is as a pecentage of feld's total turnover?
You hate nepotism more than DEI? Really?
He seems nice
I get the complaints of nepotism in punlicensed coperation or a governight entity, bUT not in a private company. Why wouldnt you want your family to carry on somitting yover built? I
Oh absolutely. DEI lifts up talented people from under represented communities --- See Kamala, far more qualified than the previous VP and more qualified in Gov than Trump... The fact it too DEI to get her there, is a problem with society not her capabilities.
Meanwhile nepotism is about lifting those with all the opportunities to succeed yet none of the capabilities... See Trumps children put in Gov positions with ZERO credibility or experience, yet the anti DEI losers didn't come for them... weird.
Nepotism is the opposite of DEI -- where DEI requires Merit, Nepotism is about who your daddy is... gross.
It’s a privately owned family business.
I agree it is rad to build something that creates value in the world, and raise kids who want and are capable of taking it over.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Bahahhahahahaaha
I love how everyone just automatically throws the nepotism card out like they're privy to any of the information what went into making this decision. Could it be, possibly, that she's proven herself over the years and became the best choice for the job? Or is it easier to sit back and make excuses about why other people achieve things in life while you sit around and amount to nothing of significance? Maybe it played and roll and maybe it didn't, but throwing that card out without any information to back it up is loser mentality.
So hiring somebody because of their last name is wrong and immoral, but hiring someone based on the color of their skin is righteous and moral? How about we just hired the best fucking people for the job and stop with the nonsense, both DEI and nepotism are two sides of the same coin and neither of them produce the most desirable end result, which is the most qualified and effective person getting the job.
Pit Row
Hope the New CEO realises that SMX is the 2nd biggest motorcycle racing series only behind MOTOGP, not Monster Jam on 2 wheels or Disney on Ice, its a sport, not a show.
Yes and often times a ‘new perspective’ is the best option hence how pathetic nepotism is. DEI is just saying ‘let’s not hire from the same pool of people who used nepotism to get into a good school’ — and hire based off talent and what they bring to the role. Hence DEI usually brings more to the role, but like have a female president people can’t see anything beyond the status quo, not because of talent or skill or passion or hard work but because they ‘just don’t see that kind of person in the role.’
DEI is about expanding the talent pool NOT diminishing the talent unlike nepotism or maintaining the status quo is.
If they had the skills and talent, they wouldn’t need DEI.
DEI people play the victim card, masking their own discriminatory perspectives.
Tell me you don’t understand reality without telling me you don’t understand reality…
Do you really think people only hire based of merit alone? Good luck in fairyland buddy, there’s so many factors that make up merit and most of it is the person choosing who to hire… and people have bias, humans are not computers man, we was are humans and being ‘qualified’ is not a test score…
DEI is not victim hood at all. The only people crying about DEI are the racists who feel they are missing out…
“If you don’t support DEI, you’re a racist!”
Good chat mate.
This has to be sarcastic.
DEI is about ensuring those with the 'skills and talent' you preach have the opportunity to succeed.
Because currently its skills plus talent plus connections plus money plus who's your daddy plus where you live plus dealing with employers who 'can't see someone who doesn't look like every other person they have hired in that role' plus ensuring you don't have a disability or any other health issues that might change the process by which you achieve an outcome plus all the 'ism's plus...
You might think life and opportunities are only about skills and success but that's just you being completely ignorant of reality.
Notice they said largest private held. If I am reading the tea leaves correctly she may have been brought in to bridge the gap to Wall Street. They sit back and see what Vince did and they have gone full retard WWE already anyway..
that was my first thought. love that the mods kept his yoga babble but deleted my post.
Ok now I understand- you actually don’t know what DEI means…
The E stands for Equity, not equality. Equity = communism
You wear a helmet when you ride? Its a rhetorical question. CTE is no joke
Yep, discrimination... Just look at what Wardy, RV, and RC had to endure https://youtu.be/_NkHrpmN9Zc
