Tribune Company: Tribune Appoints Gilbert as EVP/Multi-Media Sales
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:24072008
CHICAGO -- Carolyn Gilbert, former president of Critical Mass Media,
Clear Channel's once industry-dominant research and marketing arm, has
joined Tribune as executive vice president/Multi-Media Sales Group
(MSG), Tribune's recruitment classifieds tele-sales division. Her
initial responsibilities include re-vamping and re-tooling MSG, as well
as developing and executing plans for division expansion beyond
recruitment advertising.
"Work ethic, intelligence and the ability to get things done quickly
and efficiently make Carolyn a great fit for the new Tribune culture,"
said Randy Michaels, Tribune's chief operating officer. "I worked with
her for 17 years at Jacor, and have absolutely no idea why she'd want
to do it again -- she knows what she's getting into, and I'm glad she's
chosen to do it anyway."
Almost three decades of experience and expertise in operations, systems
and call center management make this first Tribune project an ideal
match for Gilbert's skills.
"It's been awhile since I worked for a company whose values match mine
-- putting shareholder value, customer satisfaction and employee morale
first," said Gilbert. "What we're doing at Tribune isn't easy. But if
we're not going to have the wind at our backs, we might as well do it
with the people who have them! I trust Tribune management to make
decisions for the right reasons, and I trust my coworkers to work
toward our common goals. Trust is a wonderful thing to feel again!"
Gilbert started her first new job in 27 years on July 7th, and has
relocated to Chicago.
