BroadcastPro ME has received official confirmation from Abu Dhabi Media that Malcolm Wall has been appointed CEO of the media company with effect from September 1. We first broke this story on Twitter on June 6.
Malcolm Wall is probably best known for being with Virgin Media as Chief Executive for Content although he stepped down from that position in 2009.
At Virgin Media, Wall ran the company’s television business, the Virgin Media portal and the three television channel groups; Virgin Media Television (including Living TV); UKTV and Sit Up television, and was responsible for $1.5billion of revenues. Malcolm joined Virgin Media from United Business Media, where he was Chief Operating Officer, responsible for 6,500 people worldwide and $1.3 billion of revenues. He is a founding Director of Redshift Strategy, a major advisory group in Media.
Mohamed Mubarak Al Mazrouie, chairman of Abu Dhabi Media called Wall “a heavy hitter” adding that he “brings a wealth of senior operational experience in advertising sales, broadcasting and content”.
“He has worked globally within the print, research and news distribution sectors. We are confident that he will take Abu Dhabi Media to a new level, maximising our potential commercially and in public service excellence,” Al Mazrouie added.
