Schoonmaker resurfaces as Odeon CEO

by MediaWeek Media Week 20-May-04, 09:37

Former chief executive of Emap Performance, Tim Schoonmaker, has become the new chief executive at Odeon Cinemas.

Schoonmaker is best known for establishing Emap Radio in 1991 before spearheading the launch of Emap Performance and Emap Advertising.

He unexpectedly departed as chief executive at Emap Performance in January, after growing the business considerably in recent years.

 

He is well known for his outspoken views on media and his appointment will be seen as a coup for the cinema chain.

 

Speculation up until now suggested that he would be part of a team of investors in the market to purchase strategic radio assets.

 

Tim comments: “It is fantastic to join Britain’s favourite group of cinemas. This is an exciting time for me to join the cinema industry, which gives many people their most powerful media experience.”
