Media iQ, the leading global analytics and technology company, has announced the appointment of Simon Tray as Global Chief Financial Officer. He joins having previously held the same role at MediaCom, where he had been part of the leadership team for the past 19 years.

In his new role, Simon will be responsible for the company’s financial performance and reporting of business, as well as taking responsibility for future operational business planning and commercial risk management. This is the latest in several recent senior hires at Media iQ, as it continues to demonstrate its commitment to worldwide growth and ability to attract the best talent in the media and advertising industry.

Simon comes to Media iQ with a hugely impressive background in the industry, having managed finance departments in several agencies both in the UK and globally. Most recently, he was Global Chief Financial Officer at MediaCom, helping grow the network to have 120 offices in over 90 countries.

During his 19 years as part of the senior leadership team at MediaCom, Simon was UK Group Finance Director.
