Internet measurement firm comScore named a new person to its board of directors and announced two nominations to replace outgoing founding venture capital members.
The moves are part of a new strategy “that encompasses multiple media including the Internet, the mobile Internet and digital TV measurement,” comScore CEO Magid Abraham said in a statement.
Jeffrey Ganek, chairman and CEO of NeuStar, Inc., was elected to the board of directors. Neustar, based in Sterling, Va., provides clearinghouse services to the telecommunications industry.
Two veteran board members announced they won’t stand for re-election at the June 4 annual stockholders’ meeting.
Fred Wilson, a prominent venture capitalist and blogger, will depart the board after nearly 10 years as a comScore director. Wilson was one of the first investors when the company was founded.
Tom Berman, from Adams Street Partners, also will not stand for re-election after joining the board in 2001.
“We thank both Fred and Tom for their thoughtful advice and counsel that has helped comScore grow from a start up into a leading supplier of digital marketing intelligence,” comScoreexecutive chairman Gian Fulgoni said.
ComScore will nominate Jarl Mohl, a non-executive chairman of CNET’s board and past CEO of E! Entertainment Television and an executive at MTV and VH1.
The online measurement firm also nominated William Katz, non-executive chairman of the board of directors of Visible World Inc., a privately-held multimedia marketing services provider. Katz was also president and CEO of BBDO New York, the flagship office of BBDO Worldwide, the world’s third largest global agency network.
