Entertainment group Global media has announced Cilesta Van Doorn will join from Virgin Media as its new chief marketing officer.

Since 2018, Van Doorn was the executive director of brand and marketing at Virgin Media, which recently merged with competing technology communications business O2. In the role, she led a team of 70 that included the in-house creative agency as well as media, brand, marketing insight, digital and social media communications.

In a statement, Van Doorn said that while she loved her time working at Virgin Media, the opportunity to work at Global was “an opportunity … that makes your heart skip a beat.”

She added: “I’m at my best being part of truly dynamic, innovative and transformational companies, and you can’t fail to be impressed by Global’s performance as a media and entertainment company over the years.”
