Guardian: Guardian Media Group is expected to appoint David Pemsel to the role of chief executive in an announcement as early as Thursday. Pemsel was promoted to deputy chief executive in 2013 from his position as chief commercial officer. A former ITV marketing director, he has worked at Guardian News and Media since July 2011 and has been involved in recent years in commercial expansion overseas.
