One of the industry’s most experienced commercial operators is to return to media with the appointment of James Warburton as the new CEO of APN Outdoor.

Warburton will join the ASX-listed company in January after finishing his stint running V8 Supercars.

Warburton made his name in the media industry during successful roles leading Seven’s commercial operation and Universal McCann. He left media in 2013 after a short, and disastrous, stint as CEO of Network Ten.

The announcement comes a day after Warburton announced he would step down from his role at V8 Supercars.
