Executive Transactions

Scottish Second Division Rangers have confirmed CRAIG MATHER will continue in the role of CEO on a permanent basis. The 42-year-old was appointed as interim CEO in April after CHARLES GREEN resigned from the position. Rangers Chair WALTER SMITH "felt Mather did enough during his interim spell to secure the job permanently." Smith: "Throughout his time at the club, Craig has demonstrated a deep commitment to the club and has a clear vision of how Rangers should be taken forward" (Scotland DAILY RECORD). ... LOUISE JOHNSON has been promoted to deputy managing director of Omnicom Media Group's sport & entertainment agency Fuse EMEA. Johnson will continue to work with clients such as Vodafone Global and Nissan as she "grows in the agency's pan-European offering" (ISPORTCONNECT, 7/11). ... New Zealand Cricket Chair CHRIS MOLLER is "stepping aside amid a cleanout of the board." Moller, a former New Zealand Rugby Union CEO, confirmed on Friday he would not be seeking re-election in September "after three sometimes-turbulent years at the helm" (FAIRFAX NZ NEWS, 7/12).
