The Media Edge, the global media network launched by Young &
Rubicam last month, has poached Tempus’s chief operating officer, Johan
Denekamp, to be its first general manager and chief financial
officer.
Denekamp will be based in London and will join the new global board of
the Media Edge, reporting to the company’s president, Paul
Woolmington.
His brief will be to work closely with the Media Edge management group
to apply best practice in business management to the Media Edge’s
offices worldwide.
Woolmington commented: ’Johan has unquestionable calibre and he
possesses a rare blend of financial, business and media management
skills which we will apply to every region of the world. I consider
Johan to be a partner for me in this important endeavour.’
Woolmington and Denekamp worked together when Woolmington was head of
the Bozell Worldwide media operation, BJK&E, a joint venture with
Tempus, which at that time was called the CIA Group.
