Virtual advertising company Supponor has appointed Simon Green as its new chief executive officer.
Green joined the company last May as chief operating officer. He is now moving into the CEO position, taking over from James B. Gambrell, who steps down from the role to serve as a non-executive director.
Chairman of Supponor’s board, Sir Martin Broughton, said, “The last eight years have been an incredible journey with Supponor, and we’ve been fortunate to have Jay (James) lead a team of such talented and dedicated people. I am confident that under Simon’s leadership, Supponor will continue to innovate and lead in the virtual advertising space. Fortunately, Jay will not be leaving us completely as he will continue to contribute as a member of the board.”
Speaking about his new role, Green said: “During his tenure as Supponor CEO, James demonstrated immense strategic acumen and great leadership, fostering our growth to profitability and solidifying our position as the prominent player in virtual advertising.
“His contribution has been invaluable, and the company owes its current stature in no small part to his guidance. I am delighted to follow in his footsteps and lead the business at a very exciting time in its history, and I look forward to working closely with my team, our customers and partners.”
