Dial Global has announced that Ronald Furman will join the company as Chief Revenue Officer. In this new role, Furman will be responsible for the company's overall revenue generation. He will be based in New York and will report directly to CEO Paul Caine. Furman comes to Dial Global from Insignia Sports/Entertainment where he served as Executive VP/Managing Director. While there, Furman led the go-to-market strategies for multiple content properties, including The Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

"Ron is a recognized industry leader who is proficient at building, developing, and leading high-performing sales teams across multiple media properties," said Caine. "And the timing is perfect, as we announce that Dial Global will broadcast over 90 games this season, including all Monday Night, Sunday Night, and Thursday Night Games, the Thanksgiving Day Triple Header, a full slate of Sunday Afternoon Games, the entire Post-season, and Super Bowl XLVIII. His deep sports knowledge and client relationships are a perfect complement to our strength in the sports market."

While a Senior VP/Sports Sales at Comcast/NBC Universal, Furman integrated and managed cross-platform sales and marketing teams, including digital and new business development. Furman has also held Senior VP positions at the NFL, Viacom and Univision Communications. He remains an advisor to Insignia as new sports and entertainment platforms are developed for sponsorship.

"I am excited for the opportunity to be joining a company with such a deep legacy in sports programming," said Furman. "Audio continues to be one of the most dynamic and progressive mediums for broadcast and I'm looking forward to working with a company and a team that is leading the way and raising the bar for audio media across all platforms."
