Mahon, head of Channel 4, set to manage live entertainment company Superstruct dynamically.
Are you ready for some juicy goss about Alex Mahon, the ex-drama queen of Channel 4? Here's the lowdown on her next chapter!
The insider scoop is that Alex Mahon, who recently bid adieu to Channel 4 after eight intense years at the state-owned broadcaster, is set to become the new Theseus of the live entertainment group managing the legendary Boardmasters festival.
Sources familiar with private equity are hinting that the news will break this week, as Superstruct Entertainment, the company owned by KKR and CVC Capital Partners, finalizes its appointment of the celebrated executive[1][2].
Apparently, Superstruct's festival honchos were briefing their teams on the shake-up as early as Wednesday morning.
Now, here's where things get very interesting. Could this move give our girl Alex the chance to pocket a more substantial paycheck than the one she might've received at Channel 4? Well, that's a fair guess, given Superstruct's impressive portfolio[3].
As the owner and operator of over 80 music festivals across Europe and Australia, Superstruct boasts an impressive roster that includes Wacken Open Air, Defqon.1, Tinderbox, Boardmasters, and Sónar in Barcelona[4].
A bit of history on Superstruct reveals that it was set up by Providence Equity Partners in 2017, and since then, it's flexed its muscles through organic growth and strategic acquisitions to establish itself as a major player in the live entertainment industry[5].
So, keep an ear to the ground for the official announcement. This move could be the beginning of a whole new adventure for Alex, and we can't wait to see what she brings to the table at her new digs.
In the meantime, we'll continue to keep you up-to-date on all the latest in the world of money, so stay tuned!
