Neustar Hires New CFO

In the US, consumer data provider Neustar has appointed former Reed Elsevier and PepsiCo exec Carolyn Ullerick as Chief Financial Officer. She replaces long-time CFO Paul Lalljie, who retired last month after seventeen years with the company.

Neustar uses data science, programmatic ad buying and proprietary first party data assets to provide cross-platform ad targeting services for clients. Ullerick (pictured) joins with more than 30 years' experience managing financial operations for high-tech and consumer packaged goods companies. Previously, she was the Global CFO of the LexisNexis Group, guiding the company through more than 80 acquisitions. Before this, as the CFO of Frito-Lay Canada (a division of PepsiCo), Ullerick focused on improving the working capital management structure, restructuring operational processes, and developing regional competitive strategies. Earlier in her career, she worked at asset management company Strategic Insight, and at Southam Newspaper Group.

In her new role, Ullerick will direct all accounting, financial planning and analysis, treasury, tax, procurement, facilities and corporate development functions. She will report to President and CEO Lisa Hook, who comments: 'Carolyn is a seasoned finance and business expert with an impressive track record leading multi-billion-dollar brands, including a top leadership position at one of the world's most admired consumer goods companies. She will bring a unique perspective to Neustar and help us grow our information services business with the same financial discipline we have seen over the years'.
