Before that, he was at Bloomberg Financial Markets. He’ll report to Rooney at DJ, effective Oct. 16. Release.

Turner Broadcasting: Turner vet Dennis Quinn is taking a break to travel. Quinn, who leaves as EVP-business development, joined Turner in 1992 and held a variety of exec positions. For now, his group is reporting to Coleman Breed, EVP, Sales & Marketing for Turner Network Sales.

Interpublic Group: Scott Wensman joins as director of media strategy and content for The Interpublic Emerging Media Lab, which is part of IPG’s media futures practice.
