Global podcast company Acast has appointed Georgina Holt as Managing Director for the UK, Ireland and ROW regions. Georgina joins from The Stylist Group, where she was most recently Executive Director of Stylist Studios. At Acast she will be responsible for driving commercial and content growth, cementing the company on its 100% year-on-year revenue growth. Alongside her sales responsibilities, Georgina will continue to grow Acast's portfolio and add new shows to the Acast network.

Her near 20-year media and publishing career spans the best-known news and magazine brands around, with Georgina leading and delivering the successful strategic and commercial transformation for the likes of Stylist and Cosmopolitan.

Georgina said: "As a company that works with the best names in podcasting worldwide, it was an easy decision to join the Acast team. You just have to look at the likes of Off Menu, The Adam Buxton Podcast, and My Dad Wrote A Porno — not to mention shows from the BBC, the Financial Times, Vice and many more publishers — to see Acast is the global home of podcasting."
