NRS Media has appointed Rod Power to the role of Managing Director for NRS Media Europe. He is replacing Todd Curle who has decided to leave the business at the end of April.

Rod has been with NRS Media for eight years and in media for over 13 years. Rising from the ranks of Account Director to Global Organisational Development Manager and to then Chief Operating Officer, Rod has been an integral member of the Senior Management team, with a solid understanding of the business.

Rod has been responsible for shaping and implementing the business strategies for NRS Media over the past five years, including the development of intellectual capital, the introduction of process improvements and the instigation of crucial innovation projects. This input has directly contributed to the profit and success of the organisation at all levels.

Prior to NRS Media, Rod consulted to the Australian Radio Network, one of Australia’s preeminent media organisations.

NRS Media CEO Marc Verhoeven says, “Rod has been integral to our success since he joined us eight years ago. Rod’s intimate and detailed knowledge of our business and his experience working within the media industry are key to our confidence in his appointment. We look forward to Rod continuing to build upon the exceptional strategies initiated by Todd Curle and his team.”

“We bid a fond farewell to Todd Curle after his thirteen years with NRS Media. He has successfully guided the European office to where it is today,” says Marc.

Rod will be relocating his family from Sydney Australia over the coming month.

NRS Media has generated over €500 million globally for its media partners. In the past year alone NRS Media Europe delivered more than €43 million in additional annualised revenue. Rod will continue to drive success for this office, in markets including the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Slovakia and Slovenia.
