Informa names David Lynn as CEO of inD venture

(Sharecast News) - Publishing and exhibitions group Informa said on Thursday that it has appointed David Lynn as chief executive of inD, its Dubai-based partnership with Dubai World Trade Centre. Informa said Lynn brings "extensive international executive experience" to inD from his previous role as president and CEO of ViacomCBS Networks, a billion-dollar revenue business with 5,000 colleagues across 180 markets.

The FTSE 100-listed firm stated Lynn will relocate to Dubai, becoming the inaugural CEO of inD from 4 May, with the initial focus on effectively combining the DWTC and Informa B2B event brands and businesses to create "a single operating business with a clear growth plan" for 2027 to 2029.

Group chief executive Stephen Carter said: "We are delighted to confirm David's appointment as inD's inaugural CEO. The appointment of an experienced international media and content executive underlines inD's ambition and the significant growth opportunity for high quality B2B brands in the IMEA region and beyond."

As of 1015 BST, Informa shares were up 0.32% at 819.20p.
