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.
