CBS Outdoor

CBS Outdoor’s managing director of sales and marketing Tim Bleakley has stepped down to pursue other commercial ventures following a restructure.

Alberto Alonso, CBS’ international chief executive, will take over the day to day running of the UK business in the mean time, while the company focuses on finding a replacement for Bleakley.

Other changes at the company also include additional responsibilities for CBS Outdoor Ireland’s managing director Colin Leahy, who has taken on the role of general manager, sales and marketing for the UK.

Leahy, who has worked at CBS for four years, will work alongside commercial directors Helena Kavanagh and Jason Cotterrell as well as sales directors Pete Charlton and Nicky Cheshire. who will remain in their roles.

Bleakley said his departure from the outdoor media owner after 5 years was a “big decision” but said it was time for him to seek a new challenge.

In August, CBS Outdoor reported a 27% decline in international revenue for Q2 2009, which it attributed to the global advertising downturn.
