Savvy Industry Veteran Moldafsky Will Run the Integrated Global Function for the Nielsen Global Media business

New York, NY – Nov. 30, 2020 – Nielsen Holdings plc (NYSE: NLSN) announced today that Jamie Moldafsky, a three-decade marketing veteran, will join as Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, effective immediately.
