City Moves for 9 May – Who’s switching jobs at Hyperoptic, Clear Channel and Cudoni?
Today's City Moves includes Hyperoptic, Clear Channel and Cudoni.
Hyperoptic
Hyperoptic, the UK’s largest gigabit broadband provider, has appointed two new members to its executive team as it embarks on its ambitious growth plan. Peter White has been appointed as chief financial officer (CFO) and Naleena Gururani (pictured) has been recruited into the role of chief people officer. Both report into Dana Tobak, Hyperoptic’s co-founder and chief executive. Peter joins Hyperoptic from Workshare, where he was also CFO. Earlier in his career Peter was corporate finance director at mobile network operator Three, having joined when it was a startup. Naleena joins Hyperoptic from telecoms provider Lebara where she worked for ten years in a range of senior HR roles, most recently as global HR director. Prior to that she was head of international recruitment at Infosys. At Hyperoptic, Naleena will lead a 30+ HR team across Hyperoptic’s UK and Belgrade offices. She will be taking a strategic lead in developing and implementing transformational programmes to build a strong culture, centred around a people-focused operating model and positive experience.
Clear Channel
Outdoor advertising company Clear Channel International (CCI) has announced a series of restructures to the business, including the creation of a new Europe chief executive, Justin Cochrane, to take the business forward across the region and build on the company’s strong growth in 2018. Previously chief of the UK and Ireland business, Justin brings with him almost 20 years’ experience working at Clear Channel, as well as insight as the chairman of outdoor advertising trade association Outsmart. Justin will have overall responsibility for Europe’s overarching vision, mission and strategy, and will continue to directly oversee the UK & Ireland businesses.
Cudoni
Premium fashion resale service Cudoni has appointed Matt Cooper as chairman of the board. The former principal managing director of Capital One bank formally joins the team to support brand growth at a time when the secondary fashion market is booming fuelled by consumer concerns for sustainability. Matt first became involved with Cudoni in line with his initial five-figure investment made following the business’ relaunch in May 2017. The new formalised partnership has since seen a total six-figure investment and will involve Matt working closely alongside Cudoni chief executive and founder James Harford-Tyrer offering guidance and expertise to steer the business into the next phase. Matt’s other roles involve work as a non-executive chairman and director for Octopus Investments, IGF Group and Tandem Bank.
