Townsquare Team,
Today I am very pleased to announce the promotion of Alyssa Goldberg to Senior Vice President, Human Resources/You Matter.
As you have heard me discuss in our company-wide video conferences as well as in our local onsite town hall meetings, nothing is more important than the people who make up our Townsquare Team. We do not manufacture anything, we do not have a special technology, but rather our success is 100% tied to our people. For these reasons “You Matter” is #1 on our new wallet card. We need each member of our team to know their role, their responsibilities, their goals and in return it is our obligation and commitment to each of you to provide the tools, training, empowerment and anything else you need to achieve success.
Given the importance of You Matter to Townsquare, I am extremely honored and privileged to have a great partner in leading our Human Resources Team in Alyssa Goldberg, and therefore Alyssa will report directly to me moving forward. Alyssa is coming up on her five year anniversary at Townsquare and I trust you join me in recognizing the amazing contributions and value she has brought each and every day to our Company. Alyssa’s vast experience includes educational degrees from New York University & Columbia University and work experience at Phillips Consumer Goods, Viacom and World Wrestling Entertainment.
Please join me in congratulating Alyssa on this very well deserved promotion.
