After 32 years with the company, iHeartMedia executive Hartley Adkins is set to retire later this year, the company has announced.
In a Wednesday memo to staffers, the company shared that Adkins had been “an important part of this company in every role he’s held.”
“His wisdom, knowledge, and urgency in everything he does will be missed,” iHeartMedia Chairman/CEO Bob Pittman and President/COO/CFO Rich Bressler said in the statement.
Most recently, Adkins had served as the President of the Markets Group for iHeartMedia. Previously, he served as the President of Revenue Strategy, President of Corporate Operations, President of North East Divisions, Executive Vice President of Major Markets, Executive Vice President of Operations, Major Markets West, and Senior Vice President of the South East Region.
Outside of his work with the radio giant, Hartley Adkins also served on the Executive Radio Board of Directors for the National Association of Broadcasters, as well as a Past Chair of the Radio Advertising Bureau.
“Hartley has had a series of impressive accomplishments in this company in every job he’s held,” Pittman and Bressler concluded. “He’s been developing the data and case studies our partners need to appreciate and utilize the power of our broadcast radio asset and how they can take advantage of the full array of our multi-platform assets. His wisdom, knowledge and urgency in everything he does will be missed, and on a personal level, we will miss working with him day to day.”
