Horizon Media mourns the loss of esteemed employee Serena Duff who passed away.
We are saddened to announce the passing of Serena Duff, a remarkable executive who made a significant impact on Horizon Media. Her tenure at the Los Angeles office, which began in 2009, saw unprecedented growth and success that has left an indelible mark on the advertising industry.
Under Duff's leadership, Horizon Media's Los Angeles office transformed into a billion-dollar entity. Her strategic decisions led to the growth of the office, creating numerous jobs and establishing it as a noteworthy player in the industry.
Duff managed over 300 employees at the Los Angeles office, demonstrating an effective leadership style that resonated with her team. Her impact on the office was substantial, as evidenced by its size and success.
Bill Koenigsberg, founder and CEO of Horizon Media, issued a statement expressing his condolences. He described Duff as a one-of-a-kind executive, a person who brought courage, strength, dignity, beauty, and warmth to the company. Koenigsberg noted that Duff's last few years were a lesson in these qualities, inspiring everyone around her.
Tragically, Duff's life was cut short due to a long struggle with colon cancer. She passed away last Friday at the age of 54. Koenigsberg also expressed his sorrow over losing a very special person too soon.
The success of Horizon Media's Los Angeles office under Duff's leadership was noteworthy. Before her death, Koenigsberg had been leading the office as CEO. However, Duff's influence remains, shaping the office's culture and contributing significantly to the company's growth.
Our thoughts are with Serena Duff's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. Her legacy will continue to inspire us as we strive to uphold the values she embodied and the impact she made on Horizon Media.
