ECI Media Management appoints new global COO

Media audit consultancy ECI Media Management has promoted Sofia Savvidou-Gianniri to global COO after nearly two years with the company.

Savvidou-Gianniri, who first joined the company in 2017 as SVP, global clients, has over 20 years experience in international media, having already worked on the vendor, auditor and agency sides.

Prior to first joining the company, Savvidou-Gianniri was at Omnicom Media Group for 12 years, where she was managing director of the global accountability team in London, and head of investment for APAC in Singapore during her last three years.

Commenting on her promotion, Savvidou-Gianniri said: “ECI Media Management has an impressive record of steady business growth and a reputation for integrity and innovation in the media consulting space. I am very excited about this opportunity to help shape our priorities for the future.”

In her new role, reporting to global CEO Fredrik Kinge, Savvidou-Gianniri will oversee the efficient operational management of the organisation’s business and will work alongside Kinge and the rest of the global management team in the development and execution of strategies.

“We are delighted that Sofia is taking on this key role in our global management team,” said Kinge.

“As we develop and expand our product offering and our data capabilities so that we can continue to drive media-led business impact for our clients across the world, we need to ensure that our organisation maintains peak efficiency and agility. Sofia is exactly the top-level operator to make that happen.”
