Nielsen President Farrar Steps Down
After working to complete the sale of eight brands last month, Nielsen Business Media president Greg Farrar has decided to leave the company, Folio reported last night.
Farrar, who had worked at the company for 20 years, was named president in 2007, and had served as COO before that. He helped oversee the sale of several brands, including Mediaweek and Billboard to newly created e5 Global Media in December.
Nielsen told Folio that is has no plans to replace Farrar, although he will stay on for a transition period, overseeing the company’s remaining publications that are not associated with a trade show.
