ADWEEK has appointed Tim Hart as chief operating officer, a newly created role designed to strengthen execution and accelerate the company’s evolution as a media, events and professional-intelligence platform. He will report to ADWEEK CEO Will Lee.
Hart, who most recently served as global COO and president, U.S., at Arc, will lead operations, strategic planning, product and commercial coordination across ADWEEK. He brings extensive experience driving growth and transformation at global events and information-services companies, including Informa, UBM and Emerald.
In a company memo announcing Hart’s appointment, CEO Lee said, “Tim is an exceptionally accomplished and well-respected executive, operator, and leader who has driven growth, transformation, and successful outcomes for large, global companies across the events, media, marketing services, and professional-intelligence spaces.”
Hart will accelerate ADWEEK’s strategic path and operating engine, Lee said, adding that his “breadth of background as a general manager, in mergers and acquisitions, and in commercial development at companies like Informa, UBM, and Emerald, will give him the ability to influence and drive decision-making across all parts of the company right away.”
“I’m thrilled to join ADWEEK and to partner with Will and team on the next phase of the brand’s growth,” Hart said. “I’ve long followed the brand and am excited by its energy, relevance, and the opportunity to serve the marketing community in new and innovative ways.”
