Maria Kyriacou Nominated For ProSiebenSat.1 Media Board Chair Amid MFE Takeover Bid


TV exec Maria Kyriacou has been nominated as chair of ProSiebenSat.1 Media, which is currently subject to a takeover bid from its largest shareholder.

With ProSiebenSat.1’s future very much in focus in 2025 amid an ongoing wrangle for control, Kyriacou will be proposed as a candidate for the supervisory board at the company’s AGM on May 28, alongside Katrin Burkhardt and Simone Scettri, who are up for re-election. Last year, ProSieben’s shareholders narrowly rejected an MFE-led proposal for a suite of corporate measures, including separating the core broadcast business from other verticals such as dating. Wiele said today that Kyriacou’s “extensive experience and proven leadership in the global media industry make her ideally suited to help guide the successful transformation that ProSiebenSat.1 has begun in the last years.”
