Change of Directorate
YooMedia plc, the interactive entertainment group, announces that David Docherty
is to step down as chief executive to pursue other business opportunities. David
joined the company as a non-executive director in January 2003 and subsequently
became chief executive in January 2004.
Michael Sinclair, executive chairman, said: 'David was central to YooMedia's
development into a broadly-based interactive media group with significant
revenues and a great future. But, I fully understand that having helped bring
about and then integrate the transformative merger with DITG, he now feels it is
time to pursue other possibilities within the media industry. He will have the
warm wishes of all at YooMedia for the future.'
David Docherty said: 'I joined Michael and the YooMedia team when the company
was developing its strategy to be a major player in the interactive media arena.
The company has grown significantly in the last two years. Now, with DITG
successfully integrated, I want to follow up entrepreneurial possibilities in
the converging world of broadband, TV and mobile.'
Neil MacDonald has been promoted to group managing director reporting to Michael
Sinclair, executive chairman. Michael Sinclair said 'Neil MacDonald is one of
the most experienced and effective managers in the interactive media industry
and I am confident he will be instrumental in taking the group to the next
level.'
