Wells, who also joins the company’s board of directors, takes on the role having served as chief executive of the Clear Channel Outdoor Americas segment since 2015.
Both moves have been planned as part of the board’s ongoing succession planning.
“I am excited about our accelerating momentum and the new growth and market opportunities we are pursuing across our platform,” Wells says.
“Thanks to the leadership and strategic guidance from William and the dedication of our global team, we are making this transition from a position of strength.
“I look forward to working with our talented team to build on our strong foundation and further strengthen our relationships with customers.”
Eccleshare adds: “Since I joined CCOH 12 years ago, I have been continuously inspired by the talent, performance and dedication of my colleagues across the globe and all that we have achieved together, particularly during the recent challenging times.
“Scott has deep knowledge of our business and has led our Americas business division to success over the past seven years. Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings could not be in better hands for the future, and I look forward to our continued partnership and collaboration.”
