Abraham Thomas joining Red FM as COO

MUMBAI: Abraham Thomas, who recently resigned as ad sales head of MTV India, is joining Red FM, the India Today Group’s radio arm, as chief operating officer.
 

Confirming the development to Indiantelevision.com, Thomas said he would be taking charge at Red FM beginning April. “I believe my years in television and print will bring in fresh thinking into what I believe is a sunshine industry poised for phenomenal growth and penetration.
 
 

Thomas added that the challenge of moving up to the next level of leadership was also a huge factor in his decision to leave MTV.

Before MTV, Thomas was heading ad sales at SET for the entertainment part of their bouquet. He was with Sony for three years. Prior to that, Thomas was with the Indian Express.
