Adshel has appointed Clear Channel UK chief operating officer Rob Atkinson as interim chief executive, following the departure of CEO Steve McCarthy.
Atkinson will act in the interim role until a permanent CEO is appointed. AdNews revealed McCarthy’s departure earlier in the week.
Atkinson will report to Clear Channel Asia Pacific regional president Mark Thewlis and APN News & Media group radio and outdoor chief executive Richard Herring.
Herring said: “I am delighted that we can leverage Clear Channel’s international network to ensure that we keep Adshel moving forward at this important time for the business and the industry.”
Adshel is a joint venture between APN News & Media and Clear Channel.
