Noel Penzer, formerly the managing director of AOL UK, is to take up the new role of Managing Director of Time Out Europe. Noel will oversee Time Out’s multimedia expansion across Europe, holding responsibility for its owned and operated business within the region.
Penzer has been at AOL UK for four and a half years, and has led the commercial operation across its portfolio of businesses, including Huffington Post, TechCrunch, and AOL Platforms, for the past two years.
He has been instrumental in repositioning the company across its three core pillars of content, programmatic and video.
Tim Arthur, group chief executive of Time Out Group, said: "With six new UK cities having launched in last six months alone, I’m thrilled that Noel is joining us and I have no doubt he will be a key player in Time Out’s continued expansion.
"Noel’s wealth of experience across an impressive portfolio of media and content brands will ensure that the Time Out European business continues to deliver against our growth ambitions."
