Vevo LLC, the largest U.S. music-video site, named former Intel Corp. executive Erik Huggers chief executive officer, bringing in an experienced hand to drive growth.
Huggers, a former BBC executive who led Intel’s effort to create a Web-TV service, will be charged with raising Vevo’s profile with consumers and accelerating innovation, the website said Thursday in a statement. The appointment, reported earlier by Bloomberg News, was announced the day the music site makes its Newfronts presentation to advertisers in New York.
