Clear Channel Europe has appointed André Azadehdel as Chief Information Officer (CIO).
André will be responsible for leading the digital transformation of Clear Channel Europe and building the core technology capabilities to enable this. He will oversee an international team spanning 17 markets with an agile and flexible approach, driving a strong digital culture through innovation and collaboration.
Justin Cochrane, CEO Clear Channel Europe told us “I’m delighted to welcome André into the permanent role of CIO. As a long-term collaborator, he understands our business and the vital role technology plays in achieving our mission to Create the Future of Media. By harnessing the expertise, scale and local insights of our multi-market technology team, André will ensure that we are creating the high-quality products and innovative solutions our advertisers and the communities in which we serve across Europe expect of us.”
He first worked with Clear Channel in 2014 as a consultant, initially to help scale its digital offering. Since then, he has been involved with the development and launches of both Clear Channel RADAR, its proprietary mobile-data platform that makes planning, measuring and optimising OOH campaigns more effective, and most recently, Clear Channel LaunchPAD, a dedicated new programmatic offering connecting digital buying channels with its Digital Out of Home (DOOH) inventory.
He brings a wealth of experience to the role having spent over 20 years working with clients across multiple sectors whilst at Deloitte Consulting and as an independent consultant, advising them on how to redesign and transform their businesses and utilise digital trends. André co-founded Riverflex, a professional service business providing digital, data, innovation and technology consulting services harnessing the trend towards open talent and networked organisations, working with clients throughout Europe including Nestlé, IKEA, Primark, Samsung and PVH.
Clear Channel Europe is a division of leading global Out of Home media company, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO).
