Global information and media house The Nielsen Company has appointed Piyush Mathur as the Managing Director of its South Asia business.
The move comes as Partha Rakshit retires from the post after serving 28 years in Nielsen. He would continue to be associated with Nielsen as a consultant on special projects, a statement issued here said.
Mathur would report to Christophe Cambournac, who is the President of Consumer Research, Asia Pacific, India, Middle East and Africa.
Mathur joined Nielsen in Delhi in 1994 as a Research Executive and worked at various positions across the Indian sub-continent, Middle East and North Africa.
"There is a huge spotlight globally on South Asia and India, and I am truly excited to be part of this rapidly growing economy. My vision over the next few years is to help our clients grow profitably, while helping Nielsen transform into becoming an academy company," Mathur said.
