Bert Weiss’ boutique podcast consultancy rounds out talented senior management with latest new hire

Pionaire Podcasting today announced that Ben Juster has joined its talent network consultancy as Vice President of Podcasting Operations. Juster most recently served as Director of Podcast Sales Operations for iHeartMedia, bringing nearly two decades of industry experience to the Pionaire team. His diverse experience in the podcasting, advertising, operations and event arenas complements the existing team of creative thinkers at Pionaire who provide customized solutions to maximize their clients’ message, amplify their voices and achieve success.

“We have spent the last three years patiently learning about all the exciting, unique and untapped opportunities that podcasting has to offer – from content to sales to marketing and everything in between,” comments Pionaire CEO and Co-Founder Bert Weiss. “Ben is Pionaire’s Swiss army knife. He fits perfectly into our culture, and he’ll be instrumental in selecting content providers that fit our vision while also using the management and sales experience he honed at iHeartRadio to create curated revenue and digital content strategies. If Pionaire was an airplane, our wheels would just be getting off the runway. Let’s go!”

“Ben's energy, enthusiasm and vision for where we can take Pionaire is unmatched,” adds Co-Founder and Head of Marketing Chris Tuff. “His digital marketing background combined with his robust experience at iHeartMedia makes him our new lethal weapon!”

Juster’s addition comes on the heels of two major hiring announcements – President of Podcasting Mike Morse and Vice President of Podcast Sales & Strategy Brittany Bernado – poising Pionaire for continued expansion and innovation.
