RJRGLEANER Communications Group CEO Anthony Smith died after getting sick for a short period, and the Jamaican media company dropped the news over the weekend. Smith took the top job back in early 2024 after working as deputy chief for print and digital operations since late 2022, and his background was actually in engineering, plus telecom executive roles at Cable & Wireless and Massy Technologies before jumping into media management.
Culture Minister Olivia Grange called him one of Jamaica's standout media figures, while the Media Association and Caribbean Broadcasting Union both sent condolences to his family and the company. The industry lost someone who was apparently big on digital transformation and corporate strategy during his time running the communications group.
