The veteran television executive joined Vice in 2018, succeeding the company’s co-founder, Shane Smith, who resigned as CEO following a New York Times investigation of its workplace culture.
“I am proud to leave a Vice better than the one I joined,” Dubuc wrote in her email to staff, which described the company as thriving news organization that withstood “unprecedented macroeconomic headwinds” caused by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and a challenging economy “all of which forced us to pivot, refocus and pivot again.”
Dubuc’s departure comes as a special board committee has launched a sale process. It has been in talks with potential buyers, including the Greek company Antenna.
The board of directors issued a statement acknowledging Dubuc’s contributions and saying it would announce new leadership “soon.”
Dubuc’s departure was first reported by Semafor.
