Acxiom Corporation (ACXM) recently added
Tim Cadogan to its Board of Directors. Cadogan has been
serving OpenX, as a CEO since April 2008.
OpenX is the leading provider of digital advertising technology,
which enables the firms to manage and maximise their advertising
revenue.
Prior to OpenX, Cadogan served at Yahoo in a number of executive
positions, including Senior Vice President of global advertising
marketplaces. He has also served in leadership positions at
Overture Services and was a management consultant at McKinsey &
Company and The Boston Consulting Group.
Further, Acxiom also announced that John Battelle will be
nominated as a candidate for election to the board at the annual
stockholders meeting in August. John Battelle is the founder and
executive chairman of Federal Media Publishing.
Meanwhile, earnings estimates have moved down marginally
although the company reported better-than-expected results for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
For fiscal 2013, Acxiom expects to undergo several management
and investment changes, which would pace up yields
substantially.
Earlier, in March 2011, John A. Meyer resigned as the CEO,
President and a Director of the Board. Scott Howe was appointed as
the CEO and President on July 26, 2011. Also, CFO Christopher W.
Wolf resigned on June 1, 2011 and on January 11, 2012, he was
replaced by Warren Jenson, who was also appointed as the Executive
Vice President of the company.
Changes in top management positions of a company usually have a
pervasive impact on its overall functioning, goals and investor
perception. It remains to be seen how the new management charts a
growth trajectory for the company.
We continue to maintain a Neutral recommendation on ACXM. Our
recommendation is supported by Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into
a short-term rating of Hold.
