Investor call to be held on June 10, 2026
RESTON, Va., May 28, 2026 Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today announced the appointment of Matt McLaughlin as Chief Executive Officer of the company, effective immediately. Jon Carpenter will transition from his role as CEO and will continue to support the company as a senior advisor to the Board of Directors and CEO until October 2026. In connection with the leadership transition, industry leader Stuart Frankel will join the company's Board of Directors, filling the seat previously held by Mr. Carpenter.
Mr. McLaughlin brings extensive leadership experience across the digital advertising and measurement space, with a strong track record of driving growth and operational excellence. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer of DoubleVerify, where he directed that company's product, engineering and sales operations and managed over half of its employees. Mr. McLaughlin currently serves on Comscore's Board of Directors and is also a significant common stockholder of the company, giving him deep familiarity with the business, its strategy and its long-term opportunities.
Matt brings a unique combination of strategic insight, operational leadership and deep expertise in the digital advertising and measurement ecosystem, said David Kline, Chairman of the Board of Comscore. Through his Board service and longstanding investment in the company, he already has a strong understanding of the business, our mission and the opportunities ahead. We are excited to welcome him into this leadership role as we move into our next phase of growth.
During his tenure as CEO (and previously as CFO) of Comscore, Mr. Carpenter played a critical role in reshaping and strengthening the company. He led efforts to streamline Comscore's capital structure and operations, strengthen the balance sheet and simplify the business culminating in the divestiture of Comscore Movies and the elimination of $40 million in senior debt on May 27, 2026.
Jon's impact on this company has been invaluable, said Mr. Kline. He helped drive significant operational, financial and strategic progress across the organization, while also bringing people together around a common purpose. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and dedication to Comscore's success, and we are pleased that he will continue supporting the company during this transition.
Mr. McLaughlin added, I am honored to step into the role of CEO at such an important time for Comscore. Jon has helped build a foundation for the business, and I look forward to working with the team to drive meaningful growth and execute on our strategic priorities.
Comscore further announced the appointment of Stuart Frankel to its Board of Directors. Mr. Frankel brings extensive operating and leadership experience in advertising technology, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence. He is currently a Managing Director of 10X CEO, an advisory and coaching firm for CEOs of high-growth venture and PE-backed technology companies. Earlier in his career, Mr. Frankel was the CEO and co-founder of Narrative Science, a generative AI company acquired by Salesforce in 2021, and was a member of the senior leadership team at DoubleClick, an advertising technology company acquired by Google.
We are very pleased to welcome Stuart to Comscore, said Mr. McLaughlin. His deep expertise in ad tech and Artificial Intelligence, combined with his experience helping technology companies scale and execute, will provide valuable perspective as we continue to advance our strategy and grow the business.
