Lee Enterprises adds Stifel CEO to its board of directors
Published in Business News
ST. LOUIS — Lee Enterprises, the owner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and dozens of other newspapers, has added the longtime chief of St. Louis-based Stifel Financial Corp., to its board of directors.
The decision to add Ronald J. Kruszewski was made at Lee's annual shareholder meeting on Monday, according to a regulatory filing.
Kruszewski has led Stifel as its chief executive officer since 1997 and has been its board chairman since 2001.
In addition to his new role on the Lee Enterprises board, Kruszewski also chairs the board of directors for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, is a board member for FutureFuel Corp. and is on the board of trustees for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation, according to his Lee Enterprises biography.
He is one of seven members on Davenport, Iowa-based Lee's board of directors.
Madeline McIntosh, CEO and publisher of Authors Equity, Inc., was also elected to the board Monday by Lee stockholders. She's the former CEO of book publishing giant Penguin Random House US, according to her biography.
The new additions come after David Hoffmann took over as board chairman earlier this year as part of a $50 million deal that gave Hoffmann a controlling stake in Lee Enterprises.
