MTVN's Digital Media Chief to Exit

NEW YORK Mika Salmi (shown at right), MTV Networks’ president of global digital media, is leaving the company to pursue other endeavors.

His position, created in November 2006, will not be filled as MTVN’s digital leadership duties will be absorbed by Greg Clayman, evp, digital distribution and business development and Nada Stirratt, evp, digital ad sales.

Salmi is the founder and former CEO of Atom Entertainment, which MTVN acquired in August 2006. In a memo issued to MTVN staffers on Thursday, company CEO Judy McGrath indicated his next move would be similarly entrepreneurial in nature.

“Mika Salmi, our indomitable president of global digital media and champion of all things open, flat and connected, has decided to leave MTV Networks to write the next chapter in his eclectic career,” she wrote.
