Rentrak Corporation, a company that measures and researches media across a number of platforms, named a new COO and CFO on Thursday. David Chemerow replaces Mark Thoenes as CFO and will assume the recently created role of COO. Thoenes reportedly left the company to pursue other opportunities.
Said Bill Livek, Rentrak’s CEO: “We are very thankful to Mark, who played an integral role in Rentrak’s growth and success over the past nine plus years. Mark has agreed to remain with the company for the next six weeks to help ensure a smooth transition. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
The 58-year-old Chemerow has worked with a number of other companies including Olympus Media, Interactive Software Corp. and Primerica Corp. and Playboy Enterprises. In fact, he’s currently Playboy’s chairman of the board.
“David’s experience working with high-growth companies will serve Rentrak well as we look to capitalize on the strong foundation we have built to provide cross-platform media information services to the entertainment and advertising industries,” remarked Livek.
