Wright (pictured) has been in the post at ABC since 2008 and was also president of the International Federation of ABCs from 2010 to 2014.

During his tenure the organisation has had to change from being a predominantly print circulation auditor to one that can work across platforms.

In 2010, it went through a restructure bringing the AOP and IAB under its governance. It has also broadened its footprint across media sectors with partnerships with UKOM and BARB.

Sally Cartwright, chairman of ABC since 2010 said: “The Board will be sad to lose Jerry Wright, of course, but he is leaving ABC in excellent shape for the future. His successor, when appointed, will be building on solid foundations to take ABC on wards into the challenging future of media measurement.”
