Trump Media appoints media veteran Kevin McGurn as interim chief executive

April 21 (Reuters) - Trump ‌Media & Technology ​Group, ​known for its Truth Social platform, on Tuesday named industry veteran Kevin ‌McGurn as its interim chief executive ⁠officer, effective immediately.

McGurn, who has been an advisor to ‌Trump Media since December ‌2024, has over two decades of leadership experience at major media and technology companies. ​He will succeed current CEO Devin Nunes.

Trump Media has faced challenges in scaling ⁠its media business amid competition from larger social networks and ​uneven user growth.

U.S. President Donald Trump frequently uses Truth Social to make major ​political and personal announcements, ‌such as his 2024 presidential campaign, and the U.S. and Israel's coordinated ⁠strikes against Iran.

McGurn brings a "strong understanding of Trump Media's operations and strategic priorities," Donald Trump Jr. ⁠said in a statement.

Nunes resigned from Congress in 2022 ​to serve as CEO of Trump's social media venture. He oversaw Trump Media's $6 billion all-stock deal for ‌Google-backed TAE Technologies, adding fusion power to the Trump family's diverse ‌ventures.

Eric Swider, a key figure in Trump ⁠Media's public listing, resigned ‌from its board ​earlier this month.
