Background

About Heather Williams

B2C leader with deep expertise in consumer revenue monetization, audience marketing, and operational excellence across both digital and print subscriptions. I currently oversee McClatchy’s subscription revenue performance, with accountability for retention, pricing, forecasting, and strategic revenue initiatives across all 30 markets. My focus is driving growth through disciplined analysis, foundational operational rigor, and lifecycle marketing strategies that maximize ARPU and reduce churn. I lead with a data-informed approach—translating performance insights into targeted programs that expand subscriber value and improve long-term yield. With a 30-year career in media, including leadership roles in broadcast, marketing, and audience development, I bring a comprehensive perspective on consumer revenue. I specialize in enhancing subscription-based revenue streams by implementing data-driven retention programs, acquisition strategies, refining pricing monetization, and fostering teams that prioritize growth and accountability. I served on the Board of the Alliance for Audited Media, representing U.S. media publishers, and proudly support community impact through the United Way Women’s United Board.
