Cox Media Group Promotes Two Senior Leaders

Turnbull earned her bachelor’s degree in media performance from Florida State University. She and her husband, Robert, have been married for 28 years and have a son, Jackson, and daughter, Hannah.

In his new role as VP of Strategy & Operations, Jordan Cipala will be responsible for evaluating business development opportunities, bolstering CMG’s market-intelligence capabilities, managing M&A and integration efforts, and supporting more streamlined collaboration and execution across CMG’s business units.  He’ll continue as the Executive Sponsor of CMG’s Young Professionals Network Business Resource Group. 

Prior to joining CMG, Cipala worked in PE-backed operations, principal investing, and investment banking. He’s led strategic planning, evaluated and executed key investments across a variety of sectors, helped close M&A transactions and more. 

“Jordan has been an indispensable member of the CMG team in leading our annual strategic planning process, supporting our Board interactions, and operationalizing our M&A efforts,” said Dan York, CMG’s President & CEO. “We’re thrilled to promote from within and reward his invaluable expertise and dedication to CMG’s future and continued evolution.”

Cipala graduated from Vanderbilt University with a double major in Economics and Engineering Science. He’s an Eagle scout, avid tennis player and fitness enthusiast, and enjoys spending time on his family’s farm outside of Nashville.

“We congratulate Misti and Jordan on their well-earned promotions and thank them for embodying CMG’s commitment to serving local communities and providing best-in-class content and local journalism,” York said.
