Jon Carpenter named chief executive of media analytics firm Comscore Inc† valid Wednesday.
Carpenter will take over after serving as Comscore’s Chief Financial Officer since November 2021. He succeeds Bill Livek, who announced his planned retirement earlier this year.

“Jon’s strong operational focus, strategic insight and experience that drives both growth and profitability are exactly what we need for the next chapter of Comscore. In addition to his background in finance, as well as in the media and measurement sectors, Jon brings a customer-centric ethos. I am excited and confident in Comscore’s future under Jon’s leadership,” said Dr. Nana Banerjee, the newly appointed non-executive chairman of the board.
In addition to Carpenter and Banerjee, who previously served as directors of the board, Mary Margaret Curry, currently Chief Accounting Officer of Comscore, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Brent Rosenthal will stay on as lead director.
On Tuesday, board member Irwin Gotlieb announced his resignation from the board, stating that the departure was not the result of any disagreement with the company.
