Media 2024: TIMOTHY J. O’SHAUGHNESSY

O’Shaughnessy was named president and CEO of Graham Holdings in November 2015, taking over from his father-in-law. He had been elected to the board a year before, joining Graham Holdings to guide the company in a new direction following its 2013 sale of The Washington Post.

Co-founding LivingSocial in 2007, O’Shaughnessy served as its CEO before coming to Graham Holdings. During his time as CEO, the e-commerce and marketing company grew sales to nearly $2 billion.

Graduating from Georgetown University in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, operations and information management, O’Shaughnessy now serves as a board vice president for the nonprofit Federal City Council.

Graham Holdings owns a mix of education, home health and hospice care, broadcasting, news, car dealerships, manufacturing and hospitality companies. Among its recognizable brands: Kaplan, Slate magazine, Society6, Roanoke’s WSLS TV and Clyde’s Restaurant Group. Revenue for the first half of 2024 was $2.337 billion, up 9% from the same period in 2023, the company reported in July. Education, health care and automotive sectors saw increases, but TV broadcasting and manufacturing revenues declined.

In April, Graham Holdings signed a five-year lease with Monday Properties at 1812 N. Moore St. in Rosslyn. Graham Holdings will  occupy the entire 21st floor at its new location.
