Holly Bishop

I am a dynamic C Suite executive with a demonstrated track record leading scaling businesses to success. I’m currently the Chief Operating & Commercial Officer of NME Networks; a global, next generation media group. Having joined the business as a start up, I successfully built from scratch the infrastructure to deliver a disruptive and fast scaling media and publishing proposition for both UK and global markets. Since then, I’ve lead the revival of NME as a digital first, commercially accessible brand; including the return of the legendary NME Awards and launched brands in new territories and verticals. Prior to this, I spent more than a decade working for two of the UK’s largest media owners – Global and TI Media – running a variety of business units. At TI Media I was responsible for the launch of a dedicated entertainment division which I grew into a multi-million pound profit centre. In contrast to my media career, on a personal level I love to spend my weekends in the Cotswold countryside enjoying the great outdoors and running our family equestrian breeding business, Parkfield Breeding. I have been fortunate enough to achieve some incredible results both in the saddle and as a spectator. Our ambition is to breed a horse that competes at an Olympic Games.
