New DMG sales boss

DMG have announced the appointment of a new Group Sales Director.

Peter Charlton will commence in mid 2012 in the role, after fulfilling his commitments with his present employer, Adshel, where he is Sales Director for Australia and New Zealand.

Charlton is from the United Kingdom, and prior to his time at Adshel worked at UK Outdoor company CBS, GWR Radio and Capital Radio in London.

In an internal memo to DMG staff announcing the appointment, CEO Cathy O'Connor said:

"(Peter) has significant experience in all facets of sales from strategy to operations and is passionate about making a difference in media….(he) has a high level of admiration for dmg and in 2001, convinced his bosses at GWR to send him on a week long trip (junket) to the offices of Nova 969 Sydney, to assess and learn from Nova’s launch (i.e steal ideas.)

You will find Peter a hands on leader who is both enthusiastic and experienced.  He is genuinely excited to be returning to the radio medium which he cites as his real passion"

Nova Brisbane General Manager, Sean Ryan, will continue in the role as Acting Group Sales Director until Charlton commences with DMG.
