Marshall moves on

Former CMP Asia CEO Gary Marshall has left the top job at CMP Media in the US, handing over the reins to his number two, Steve Weitzner. Marshall moved to the Manhasset, Long Island HQ of CMP from Hong Kong in 1999 when the company was acquired by the UK's United Business Media. After two years of dotcom boom times, he held the reins during the dramatic decline of technology media in the US after the bubble burst in mid-2001 and subsequent restructuring of the business. The company has made a number of acquisitions in the healthcare sector in recent months as well as announcing an alliance on outsourcing publications with Cybermedia in India.
