Sky U.K. and Ireland CEO Stephen van Rooyen to Step Down

Van Rooyen's team will report to Sky group CEO Dana Strong effective immediately, marking a significant shift in the company's leadership structure.

Stephen van Rooyen, CEO of Sky U.K. and Ireland, is stepping down after almost 17 years at the company.
His team will report to Sky group CEO Dana Strong effective immediately.
Van Rooyen was also CCO for Sky Group and played a key role in several major product launches.
He had expanded his role in 2020 to take responsibility for Sky’s operations in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, but had more recently dropped these duties and was solely CEO for the UK and Ireland.
Rumors continue that both the German and Italian businesses could be sold, but nothing concrete has emerged after months of chatter.
