Former STV chief exec to take up chair of Ebiquity

Ebiquity, the marketing analytics consultancy, has appointed former STV Group boss Rob Woodward as a non-executive director and chairman designate.

He will succeed Michael Higgins who has been chairman for the past 12 years and will step down from the board following the firm’s AGM on 9 May.

Woodward was chief executive of Glasgow head quartered broadcaster STV for nearly 11 years until last month.

Prior to joining STV, he was commercial director at Channel 4 for four years and was previously a managing director with UBS Corporate Finance and the lead partner for Deloitte’s TMT industry group in Europe.
