Wildstone Names New CFO
Wildstone, the outdoor media infrastructure owner, has made an exciting move by appointing Stuart Smith as their new chief financial officer. Stuart, coming from the FTSE 100-listed gaming company Entain, brings a wealth of experience in international finance, mergers and acquisitions, and market entry strategies. In his new role at Wildstone, he will be responsible for overseeing all financial activities and working closely with the board and executive leadership team to drive the company’s growth strategy.
Stuart expressed his excitement about joining Wildstone during this period of international expansion, highlighting the company’s strong foundation, solid backing, and talented management team. His background in working for a Plc for the past eight years has prepared him well to return to his private equity roots and contribute his knowledge towards Wildstone’s growth mission.
CEO and founder Damian Cox welcomed Stuart to the team, emphasizing the importance of bringing top talent on board as Wildstone expands globally. This appointment comes as Wildstone continues its expansion efforts, recently making strides in the Australian market and expanding its portfolios in Spain and Germany. In the UK, Wildstone has solidified its position as a leader in digital outdoor media by developing more than 1,000 digital screens in the past four years.
Overall, this appointment and Wildstone’s ongoing international expansion showcase the company’s commitment to growth and innovation in the outdoor media industry.
