comScore, Inc. announced that Jon Carpenter, who has served as the company's chief financial officer since November 2021, has been appointed by Comscore's board of directors as chief executive officer, effective July 6, 2022. This announcement caps off a full search of external and internal candidates initiated earlier this year when current CEO Bill Livek announced his planned retirement. Mr. Carpenter's experience in the media and measurement industry includes successful senior operational and financial leadership roles at NBC Universal, Nielsen, and at Publisher's Clearing House (PCH), where in addition to serving as that company's CFO, he also had operating responsibility for growing and accelerating its digital advertising business organically and through strategic acquisitions.

Mr. Carpenter, whose career also includes finance leadership roles for Sears Holdings, began his career with General Electric where he rose through their leadership development program.
