In this new role, Russo will oversee the Radio.com brand and business, with a focus on the advertiser and consumer products, client development and revenue growth, content and talent partnerships, distribution strategy, and audience development. Russo will leverage all of Entercom’s owned and operated traditional and experiential assets and develop Radio.com’s brand voice and positioning in the marketplace, while building a best-in-class organization to support rapid growth of the platform. She will join Entercom on April 30.

“I am thrilled to be part of Radio.com at this inflection point in the brand’s development,” said Russo. “This is a great time to be in the digital audio business with rapid innovation happening across streaming, podcasting, and personalized media consumption platforms. I look forward to working with the talented leaders and creators across Entercom to make Radio.com a leader in the category.”

Russo is a 20-year veteran of the media industry.  She joins Entercom from Meredith Corporation, formerly Time Inc., where she led digital strategy and operations for the company’s portfolio of entertainment, travel and luxury brands, including People.com, EntertainmentWeekly.com, TravelandLeisure.com and Departures.com, among others.
