Dale Fuller, currently a director of Comscore, was named interim CEO following the resignation of Bryan Wiener after less than year in office, citing incompatible differences with the board of directors over the execution of the company’s strategy. Wiener said in an email statement in the Wall Street Journal. ‘‘I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished in such a short period of time, and believe the company is strategically positioned to continue to take advantage of the rapidly evolving media marketplace with a core focus on advanced TV, and I wish its loyal employees, clients and investors well.’’
Sarah Hofstetter has also stepped down as President, reportedly aligning her decision to resign with Wiener’s approach to strategy.
Dale Fuller, currently a director of Comscore who has chaired Comscore’s audit committee since April 2018, has been appointed as interim CEO.
Irwin Gotlieb, former Global Chairman of GroupM, has also joined the board, along with Social Finance, Inc.’s chief marketing officer Joanne Bradford and Kathi Love who served as president and CEO of GfK MRI for 13 years.
Comscore has announced that based on preliminary results, Q1 revenue is expected to be between $100 million and $104 million. This is down from $105,9 million in the same quarter of last year. The company is expected to announce the first quarter earnings in early May.
Comscore said it plans to conduct a search to find a permanent CEO and will consider external and internal candidates, but has no immediate plans to fill the President’s role.
