LOS ANGELES—Vixen Media Group (VMG) on Monday announced the appointment of Samuel Spencer as President & Chief Operating Officer.
In this role, Spencer will oversee day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives across VMG’s global portfolio, working closely with CEO Steve Matthyssen to drive the company’s continued growth and expansion.
Spencer brings more than two decades of leadership experience to VMG, most recently serving as President of SK Intertainment, parent company of the well-known brands Mr. Skin and Mr. Man, and the operating arm of Kink and its network of sites. His career began at SK Intertainment in the early 2000s, where he rose through roles including Content Manager, Project Manager, Affiliate Manager, and Director of Business Development before being promoted to COO and ultimately President. VMG said this unique path gave him hands-on knowledge of nearly every aspect of the business, shaping his understanding of both the challenges and opportunities in adult entertainment.
During his tenure at SK Intertainment, Spencer spearheaded diversification efforts, expanding product lines and tapping into new markets. He also founded the Execs International Pay Site Owners group, a B2B network designed to give greater visibility and support to content producers and paysite operators, a community that had long been overlooked in the industry.
"I always knew it would take something very special to convince me to leave SK Intertainment and that's exactly what I found in Vixen Media Group," Spencer said. "I've always had the utmost respect for Steve and Mike as well as the brands and content they've created. It's truly the perfect fit for my expertise and business sensibilities. I'm extremely excited to take this step in my career and look forward to continuing to grow VMG as a worldwide leader in adult entertainment."
“We are thrilled to welcome Samuel Spencer to Vixen Media Group,” said Steve Matthyssen, CEO of VMG. “Sam’s track record speaks for itself. He’s a proven leader with deep industry knowledge and a clear vision for innovation. His experience makes him an invaluable addition to our team as we continue to expand our global presence.”
