Rtl Group, the Luxembourg-based media conglomerate that owns American multi-channel network StyleHaul, disclosed in a memo to staffers yesterday that CEO Stephanie Horbaczewski and CFO Jeremiah Bates are no longer with the company.

She will work closely alongside StyleHaul International president Giles Drew, StyleHaul Cmo Tracy Crane, and StyleHaul COO Olivier Delfosse. Kirk has previously held numerous roles at Rtl-owned FremantleMedia, and most recently served as the company’s interim global CFO from April 2015 to March 2016.
