Officer Dr. Nana Banerjee Named Chairman Mary
Margaret Curry Named Chief Financial Officer
Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning,
transacting and evaluating media across platforms, announced today
that Jon Carpenter, who has served as the company’s chief financial
officer since November 2021, has been appointed by Comscore’s board
of directors as chief executive officer, effective today. This
announcement caps off a full search of external and internal
candidates initiated earlier this year when current CEO and
executive vice chairman Bill Livek announced his planned
retirement. Comscore also announced that Dr. Nana Banerjee, who has
served as a director on Comscore’s board since March 2021, has been
designated non-executive chairman of the board. Brent Rosenthal,
who has served as chairman since 2018, will continue to serve as
lead director. Mary Margaret Curry, who currently serves as the
company’s chief accounting officer, has been promoted to chief
financial officer and treasurer.
Mr. Carpenter’s experience in the media and measurement industry
includes successful senior operational and financial leadership
roles at NBC Universal, Nielsen, and at Publisher’s Clearing House
(PCH), where in addition to serving as that company’s CFO, he also
had operating responsibility for growing and accelerating its
digital advertising business organically and through strategic
acquisitions. Mr. Carpenter, whose career also includes finance
leadership roles for Sears Holdings, began his career with General
Electric where he rose through their leadership development
program.
“Jon’s strong operational focus, strategic acumen, and
experience driving both growth and profitability are exactly what
we need for Comscore’s next chapter. In addition to his background
in finance, as well as in media and measurement sectors, Jon brings
a customer-centric ethos. I am excited for and confident in
Comscore’s future under Jon’s leadership,” said Dr. Banerjee.
“Along with the rest of the board, I am committed to working with
Jon and the rest of the management team to help accelerate
Comscore’s growth trajectory and achieve its full potential.”
Dr. Banerjee brings expertise in data analytics and information
services sectors, and experience in successfully transforming
global businesses, evidenced in prior roles as CEO of McGraw-Hill,
Group President of Verisk Analytics, CEO and COO of Argus
Information and Advisory Services, and senior leadership roles at
Citibank and GE Capital.
“Since arriving, Jon and Nana have been integral to the team’s
collective effort to drive growth, profitability and operational
excellence. I look forward to continuing to work together on behalf
of our company, employees, customers, and all shareholders,” said
Mr. Rosenthal.
Said Mr. Carpenter, “I am honored to step into this role and
excited about the opportunity that’s ahead for Comscore. The
marketplaces in which we operate are changing rapidly, but with
Comscore’s rich history of delivering measurement solutions,
coupled with the talent of our team, I am enthusiastic and
confident in our ability to deliver the innovative products and
solutions our customers need and want.”
Ms. Curry joined Comscore in 2011 as global tax director and has
since served in roles of increasing scope and responsibility,
including as senior director of global tax compliance and
reporting, vice president of tax and treasury, and senior vice
president and controller. Before joining the company, she spent
nine years with KPMG.
“Mary Margaret brings deep Comscore knowledge and financial
expertise to the CFO role, and I look forward to continuing to
partner with her as we execute on our strategic plan,” continued
Mr. Carpenter. “Comscore has been a groundbreaker since its
founding, and I believe we’re just getting started in our next
chapter. I know that I join the rest of the Comscore team in
thanking Bill not just for his leadership and many contributions to
Comscore, but also to the industry, and I am grateful we will have
his continued involvement on the board.”
“I’m proud of the work we have done at Comscore, and proud to
continue to be part of this great company through my board
engagement. I believe that Comscore is the answer to the
measurement and insight challenges facing our industry. I am
confident that Jon, Mary Margaret and the Comscore team will carry
that torch forward,” said Mr. Livek.
