Management
Global Traffic Network is operated by the same principals who once ran Metro Networks, and later were in charge of Westwood One. Among the field of executives are William Yde, III, who serves as CEO; Shane Coppola, former CEO of Westwood One and a former director at Metro Networks; Gary Worobow, who is general counsel and is also general counsel for Five “S” Capital, owned by former Metro Networks CEO David Saperstein; Ivan Schulman, who serves as an Executive Vice President and once was an EVP at Metro Networks. Scott Cody, who also was on the board of directors for Metro and Westwood One, is the chief financial officer for Global, as well, and was among the first executives to move from Westwood to GNET in 2005.
Coppola, who is married to Saperstein’s daughter, Michelle, worked with Worobow in 2002 and 2003 to raise funding for Global Traffic Network by starting an investment company, Columbus Capital Partners, that worked with Five “S” Capital to fund the acquisition costs related to the purchase of Global Traffic Network’s subsidiary helicopter companies.

Famous quotes containing the word management:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The Management Area of Cherokee
National Forest, interested in fish,
Has mapped Tellico and Bald Rivers
And North River, with the tributaries
Brookshire Branch and Sugar Cove Creed:
A fishy map for facile fishery....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
