Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 84972, member: 27"] BMI just handed the operational keys to Todd Horvath, signaling a tech-heavy, revenue-hunting phase while Mike O’Neill stays focused on the long game. The headline move [LIST] [*]BMI appointed Todd Horvath as President and Chief Operating Officer. [*]The role kicks in January 26, immediately reshaping the executive stack. [/LIST] Who does Horvath answer to [LIST] [*]Horvath reports directly to Mike O’Neill, which keeps the chain of command clean. [*]The setup frees O’Neill to stay locked on strategy after extending his contract through 2029. [/LIST] What BMI wants fixed or upgraded [LIST] [*]The internal mandate leans hard into modernizing platforms. [*]New revenue streams are on the table, not just incremental tweaks. [*]Improving the affiliate experience is positioned as a core priority, not a side quest. [/LIST] Where the job actually happens [LIST] [*]Horvath will split time between Nashville and New York. [*]The commute alone screams operational, not ceremonial. [/LIST] Why his background fits the moment [LIST] [*]More than 20 years in international financial services have shaped his playbook. [*]Technology integration, M&A, innovation, and customer service sit at the center of his resume. [/LIST] The Equifax chapter [LIST] [*]Horvath arrives from Equifax. [*]His last role there was President of U.S. Information Solutions, which is not small-ball territory. [/LIST] Before that, at Fiserv [LIST] [*]He served as President of Banking Solutions at Fiserv. [*]Multiple billion-dollar divisions sat under his watch. [*]A major tech transformation rolled out, with sharper digital banking tools and a more client-focused strategy. [/LIST] The long ADP run [LIST] [*]Nearly 15 years were spent at ADP. [*]His final stop there put him in charge of all international business as President of Multinational Clients. [/LIST] How leadership is framing it [LIST] [*]O’Neill is selling Horvath as a skills match, not a gamble. [*]Growth, future positioning, and long-term affiliate value are the repeated themes. [/LIST] Horvath’s own tone [LIST] [*]He frames the move as arriving during industry-level change, not internal housekeeping. [*]Time spent aligning with O’Neill’s vision is already baked in. [*]The end goal, from his view, is keeping BMI on top as the leading PRO. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
