CloserStill Media has appointed Mark Temple-Smith as group MD and a member of the executive board.
Temple-Smith is the former COO of Informa Markets and executive chairman of Tarsus.
He has joined CloserStill Media to support those businesses, which have recently joined the group through its M&A programme such as Elite Exhibitions and Trailblazer Summits.
Temple-Smith said: “I’ve long admired CloserStill Media as a fast-growth, high-performance and dynamic business so I’m thrilled to be joining at this exciting stage in its expansion journey. I look forward to helping to deliver further opportunities for growth.”
CloserStill Media recently moved into enlarged London headquarters due to its rapid expansion. It employs over 700 people worldwide and 70% of its business now operates outside the UK.
It has a significant presence in North America, Germany, France, Spain and Singapore and manages events across a wide range of sub-vertical sectors within Business Technologies, Healthcare and Future Transport and Infrastructure.
Gareth Bowhill, Group CEO at CloserStill Media said “I’m delighted to have secured someone of Mark’s stature and reputation to join CloserStill. We have an incredible team at CloserStill, and I know that Mark’s experience, and industry knowledge, together with his global network will be a huge additional asset to us as we continue on our growth journey.
