INM appoints chief operating officer

INDEPENDENT News & Media (INM) has appointed Vincent Crowley to the post of group chief operating officer, with immediate effect.

Mr Crowley – who has headed up the group’s Irish operations for the past seven years – will be filling the role which has been vacant since Gavin O’Reilly took over as chief executive last May.

Mr Crowley, however, will not be rejoining the INM board, which he vacated earlier this year when it was reduced in size.
