iHeartMedia Names 4 Division Presidents
• iHeartMedia just announced that four of its Region Presidents have been elevated to Division Presidents of the iHeartMedia Markets Group, effective immediately — (from left to right): Linda Byrd, Scott Hopeck, Brian Olson and Jeff Tyler will expand their current Region President roles to include Division President responsibilities — joining current Division Presidents Kevin LeGrett and Tom McConnell.
They will report to Greg Ashlock, President of the iHeartMedia Markets Group, who commented, “With the substantial lead we have as the No. 1 audio company in America, we have built a one-of-kind multiplatform company that offers our advertising partners benefits, driven by our unique first party and attribution data, that until now they have only found in digital. As we continue to transition these capabilities from our national platforms to the market level, this new leadership structure will allow us to accelerate how we import and export innovation.”
Ashlock added, “These solutions are in response to the needs articulated by our advertising partners. We now have solutions for the largest all the way to the smallest of our partners which will enable us to continue to both expand our platforms and build products that only a company of our scale can accomplish.”
• iHeartMedia concurrently announced that in addition to his Division President responsibilities, Kevin LeGrett (pictured, below) has been named Executive Vice President of Operations for the Markets Group, reporting to Ashlock.
