The World Out of Home Organization has launched an immediate search for a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the day-to-day operations of the global industry body. WOO President Tom Goddard made the announcement during his opening address to delegates at the Annual Congress at the Park Lane Hilton in London — the same speech in which he set out a global Out of Home industry in robust health, with global revenues of US$54bn.

The appointment will allow Goddard to step into a more ambassadorial role, freeing him to focus on member engagement and external advocacy at a moment when WOO is expanding its work across effectiveness, audience measurement and adtech connectivity.

The search is being coordinated by Jeremy Male, Chair of the WOO Nominations Committee. Goddard invited delegates to direct any questions, suggestions or expressions of interest to Jeremy directly, or to raise them with any member of the WOO Board.

We are confident this change will ensure that our marvellous Organisation will continue to flourish and grow.

Tom Goddard, WOO President
