CBS Outdoor Americas names Jeremy Male as chief executive officer
Jeremy Male has been appointed to the position of chief executive officer of CBS Outdoor Americas.
Male has joined CBS Outdoor from JCDecaux, where he most recently served as the chief executive officer of UK, Northern Europe and Australia. Prior to joining JCDecaux, Male was director of European Operations for TDI, then a subsidiary of Viacom.
Male also held numerous management positions in consumer goods companies such as Jacobs Suchard and Tchibo
“We are very pleased that Jeremy is joining us at this crucial time for our outdoor business,” said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS Corporation. “Having previously announced a separate agreement to divest our international outdoor business, we are now in the process of creating a new and independent entity that will be comprised of our out-of-home assets in North and South America. Jeremy is the perfect executive to maximise shareholder value in this portion of our operations as we prepare to split off those assets into a new public company. Having a seasoned and dynamic executive like Jeremy at the helm can only add to the strength and direction of this new, independent company, and we very much look forward to the contributions he will make in that regard.”
At the same time, CBS announced Wally Kelly as president and chief operating officer. Kelly has been with CBS Outdoor since 1996.
