For 22 years and one month, through the end of 2019, he was a key audio ad sales leader with ESPN. He then took a role in sales at Audacy Corp., and rose to VP of Enterprise Sales at the company in March 2021.
In October 2022, he exited Audacy. Now, he’s resurfaced at Global’s digital advertising platform as SVP of U.S. Sales.
Taking the role at DAX is John Fitzgerald. He remains based in New York and reports to DAX North America CEO Les Hollander.
“John has a strong track record of results throughout his career,” Hollander said. “His knowledge of the audio industry, his leadership ability and industry contacts are outstanding. We look forward to him helping us grow and evolve our business for continued success.”
Fitzgerald commented, “I’m excited to join Global and DAX US and to be part of a well-respected and growing company. DAX always puts clients first so I’m looking forward to building on their existing successes and helping advertisers reach new audiences at scale across the dynamic audio landscape. I see so much potential and am truly excited for what’s to come.”
