Out-of-home (OOH) advertising firm Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) has appointed Scott Wells CEO. He will oversee all of the company’s business operations in Canada and the U.S.
Wells joins CCOA from Bain Capital, where he served as operating partner, but he has already been a member of CCOA’s office of the president since August 2014, responsible for setting the company’s direction and ensuring positive performance. He has also been heading CCOA’s North American steering committee, which guides strategy, and previously served on the board of directors for its parent company, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings.
“The more I worked with the team at CCOA, the more I realized I wanted to play a more pivotal role,” he says. “I’m excited to expand on the work we’ve been doing in 2015 and beyond.”
