Weeks after announcing the exit of its North American CEO, Cision said Friday its European CEO is leaving the company at the end of the second quarter.
Yann Blandy, CEO of Cision of Europe, is slated to take that same post at Sweden-based Intellecta AB.
Cision CEO Hans Gieskes said Blandy leaves behind a European operation “in better shape than ever.”
Blandy’s move comes after North American CEO Joe Bernardo took an early retirement package, effective March 1.
Cision said March 8 that it has been threatened by a U.S. publisher over copyright infringement but does not yet know if and how the claim will affect its operations.
Cision’s fourth quarter revenue slipped 6% but growth in the U.S. and a turnaround in Europe has the company optimistic for 2012.
