From a LinkedIn Post:

After 20 years with JCDecaux and more than 30 in the Out-of-Home industry, I am retiring and will be stepping down as CEO at the end of the year.

Max Eburne and David Watkins take over as co-CEOs in January 2025.

It’s been a privilege to lead this business and work alongside so many talented and dedicated people.

I’ve had an incredible opportunity to lead the business through innovation, challenges, and growth. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished from integrating APN into a unified business, pioneering the digital transformation of Out-of-Home and navigating industry shifts and challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’ve built a company that leads the market and upholds a positive workplace culture.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey with me. I’m looking forward to spending more time on my cattle farm, travelling and seeing what the next chapter holds.

I leave the business in great hands with Max and Dave who are ideally placed to ensure both business and cultural continuity.

Jean-François Decaux, Co-Chief Executive Officer of JCDecaux, acknowledged the significant impact of O’Connor’s leadership over the years, particularly his role in the integration of APN Outdoor into the business. He emphasized that O’Connor’s contributions had positioned the company for a successful future.
