You're referring to Roger Lewis, the former CEO of the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), the parent company of the Daily Mail newspaper.

Roger Lewis was born in 1952 and joined the Daily Mail in 1975 as a graduate trainee. He worked his way up the ranks, becoming a journalist, editor, and eventually, in 2008, the CEO of DMGT.

During his tenure as CEO, Lewis oversaw significant changes at the Daily Mail, including the expansion of its online presence and the launch of new digital products. He also played a key role in the company's acquisition of several other media outlets, including the Metro newspaper and the i newspaper.

Lewis was known for his conservative views and was a vocal supporter of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit). He was also a strong advocate for the importance of a free press and the need for media outlets to maintain their independence.

In 2018, Lewis announced his retirement as CEO of DMGT, and was succeeded by Paul Zwillenberg. He remains a non-executive director of the company and continues to be involved in the media industry.
