LONDON, May 14, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
UBM plc today announces the appointment of Sally Shankland as Executive
Vice President, Group People & Culture Director, succeeding Jennifer Duvalier
who joins ARM plc.
Sally has been promoted to this role from her current position as Chief
Executive Officer of UBM Connect - UBM's US-based $110m portfolio b2b marketing
services business. Sally will maintain her involvement with UBM Connect as its
non-executive Chairman and the process to appoint her successor as CEO is now
under way. Sally will continue to be based in New York when she takes up her
worldwide People & Culture role.
Sally joined UBM in 1988 and has held successive executive positions in
marketing, sales and management. Sally led UBM Medica US's successful
transition from a print-based publishing business to its position as one of the
leading digital marketing services businesses serving the US healthcare
market. She was subsequently appointed Chief Executive Officer of UBM Connect
in May 2012.
David Levin, CEO of UBM plc said:
"I am very pleased to announce Sally's appointment to lead UBM's People &
Culture function, a role which is vitally important to UBM. Sally will work
closely with me, our CFO Bob Gray and with colleagues on UBM's senior executive
team to continue and further develop our programs to strengthen UBM's positive
culture; to attract, develop and retain the talent which is driving forward
UBM's development; to evolve UBM's organisational structure and operating model
to focus on strong customer and market insight; and, to ensure we are operating
effectively to deliver UBM's strategy as a global events-led marketing services
and communications business."
"Sally's outstanding operational and commercial management track record at
UBM Connect and at UBM Medica US make her ideally qualified to take on this
larger role, having demonstrated her ability to relate to colleagues and
customers alike, and her focus on creating high performance, inclusive cultures
which produce great results. I am particularly pleased that we've been able to
promote someone into this role who has such deep operational experience and
expertise in UBM and of the wider b2b media industry. Sally's appointment is
also a great demonstration that UBM career paths can span both commercial and
corporate roles."
