Global Radio appoint another newspaper man
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 December 2008
Another former newspaper exec has taken a top job at Global Radio, the commercial radio company much expanded since its acquisition of GCap.
Following the appointment of former Mail On Sunday chief Stephen Miron to the job of CEO, and the appointment of former News International exec Mike Gordon to the position of Commercial Director, the radio firm yesterday announced it had recruited another man from Mail publisher Associated Newspapers.
Their Head Of Strategy Stuart Mays will become Global’s Director Of Commercial Strategy. He will join the firm in January, reporting to Gordon.
Confirming his appointment, Mays told reporters: “I’m delighted to be joining Global Radio as Director Of Commercial Strategy. This is an excellent opportunity to work with an incredible portfolio of brands and brand platforms – it’s a fascinating time to be joining the industry”.
Gordon added: “Stuart will bring a wealth of experience to Global Radio, having worked for both agency and media owners. There are tremendous opportunities for us to work more strategically across our client and business portfolio, and I am delighted he is joining us in the New Year”.
It remains to be seen if experience garnered in the newspaper world puts you in a prime position to transform the fortunes of the UK’s biggest radio firm.
