After nine years with dmg world media, Daly, executive vice president, consumer UK, is leaving the company. She will make an announcement in the near future about her plans. “After such a long time at dmg, it is with a genuinely heavy heart that I leave the company and the fantastic team in the UK, many of whom have worked directly with me for a number of years,” she says. “But the time is right for me both professionally and personally to move on and I look forward with excitement as to what lies ahead.” AEO vice chairman, Chris Hughes, managing director of Brand Events, will assume the role as acting chairman until the annual general "meeting":http://www.venues.org.uk/searches/london_meeting_rooms_venues.asp in September, following which the board will elect a new chairman and vice chairman.
