Jessica Sibley — CEO
Jessica Sibley is a results-driven media executive and transformation leader known for turning legacy brands into modern growth businesses through innovation, digital reinvention, and strategic diversification. As Chief Executive Officer of TIME, she is leading one of the world’s most trusted media brands into a new era of global expansion and innovation, while upholding its 102-year legacy of trusted journalism. Under her leadership, TIME has evolved into a diversified global enterprise, moving beyond a legacy print model to become a multi-platform brand that reaches 120 million people worldwide. The company now encompasses TIME Studios, the Emmy Award-winning film and television division; a rapidly expanding global live events business; TIME for Kids, which delivers news literacy resources to classrooms; and a growing portfolio of digital and international platforms.

In 2025, TIME achieved a 22% YoY increase in advertising revenue, following strong gains in 2024 and 2023. Events and digital revenue have grown 52% since 2022, now representing more than half of total revenue and offsetting industry-wide print declines. Guided by Jessica’s vision for innovation and impact, TIME is embracing new technologies and deepening engagement with global audiences. The brand has introduced a responsible AI strategy and new interactive experiences, including the TIME AI Agent, which allows users to explore the publication’s archives through conversation and discovery. She also made the transformative decision to remove the paywall on TIME.com, making more than a century of journalism freely accessible to readers everywhere. Jessica has expanded TIME’s global presence through new event franchises and international editions, including TIME France and TIME Africa, and grown its editorial platforms from eight in 2022 to eighteen in 2025—launching new verticals in AI, Health, Climate, Impact, Longevity, Philanthropy, and Creators.
