Cressy Walton joins iHeartMedia as VP of Sales for its Phoenix Region, effective October 9. She joins the company from Alpha Media in Portland, where she served as the Director of Sales for the past four and a half years, and as General Sales Manager for eight years prior to that.

"I couldn't be more thrilled to have Cressy join our team here in Phoenix. With her knowledge of the market and her extensive experience, she will be an integral part of the leadership team who will continue to strengthen our position in the market and in the Phoenix ad community," said iHeartMedia Phoenix SVP of Sales Nancie Sullivan.

"I have been watching Cressy grow her career for many years since she left the Phoenix market and am very excited to have her join our sales leadership team. Her track record of success working with sales teams to help partners grow their business in broadcast, digital and sponsorship is impressive, and I know she will make a big impact with all the assets iHeart has to offer," added iHeartMedia Phoenix Region President Linda Little.

"I'm thrilled to be back where my media journey began many years ago and to join the talent-rich sales team at iHeart Phoenix.
