WOO President Tom Goddard Extends Leadership Role

24 April 2024: World Out of Home Organization President Tom Goddard has agreed to stay on in the role for a further period. Goddard had previously announced his intention to step down but has agreed to stay on at WOO board’s request.

The WOO board has 12 members representing Out of Home Media Owners and National Associations across the world.

WOO Vice-President Jeremy Male, CEO of OUTFRONT Media, said “Tom has played a major part in transforming WOO into the world-leading trade association it has become but there is still much to do as we spread our wings into all corners of the world and continue the fight to establish OOH as the pre-eminent broadcast medium in a digital world. He is the right person to carry us forward.”

Goddard says “After a long discussion with the board we have decided that now is not the appropriate time to change the leadership of WOO as there is still much to do, building on the firm foundations we have put in place since our evolution from FEPE in 2019. I would like to thank the board for their huge support and assure our growing membership base worldwide, that we shall continue to work closely with them, to build an even bigger and better industry in the coming years.”

World Out of Home Organization is the only global Out of Home Association, working to promote and improve the OOH industry on behalf of its members. Board members include the major international companies – JCDecaux and Clear Channel – as well as blowUP media from Europe, OUTFRONT Media and Lamar from the US, Selvel One from India, Provantage from South Africa, oOh!media from Australia and Asiaray from Hong Kong.
