Simon Ryan joins Carsales as MD of commercial
After announcing his resignation as the CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network this morning, Simon Ryan has been appointed as Carsales’ commercial managing director.
Before becoming the CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network in 2016, Ryan was the CEO of Carat for six years.
Perfect fit.
Congratulations to Mr.Ryan for securing what would have been a highly contested appointment. Not sure the same will be said of his replacement. Whilst Mr.Ryan did an admiral job at DAN, the sector is going through significant change and challenges. I only hope Nick Waters doesn’t do the obvious and finds someone to lead from the front.
