LONDON-- London-listed media sector acquisition vehicle Gloo
Networks PLC (GLOO.LN) Tuesday said it has appointed Arnaud de
Puyfontaine, chief executive of French media group Vivendi SA
(VIV.FR), as its non-executive chairman.
"Arnaud's vision and strategic thinking will be of enormous
benefit to Gloo as we execute our strategy" said Gloo's Chief
Executive Rebecca Miskin, a former executive at Hearst Magazines
U.K.
Gloo said Tuesday that it expects to benefit from Mr De
Puyfontaine's experience in digital media.
Gloo floated on the London Stock Exchange in July and is
planning to make media sector acquisitions valued at between 250
million pounds ($379.2 million) and GBP1 billion.
Its chief product and operations officer is Juan
Lopez-Valcarcel, who previously served as chief digital officer at
Pearson PLC (PSON.LN), the former publisher of the Financial Times
newspaper.
Gloo said at the time of its floatation that it is targeting
investment opportunities created by "the convergence of the
internet and media sectors."
