Yesterday, SuperMedia announced that its Board of Directors appointed Peter J. McDonald  as interim CEO.

Peter is a solid choice to lead SuperMedia during the company’s continued transformation. With more than 35 years of industry experience, he clearly recognizes the opportunities and challenges facing the company. Most recently, Peter served as President and COO of RH Donnelley (now known as Dex One) and has held numerous other senior roles within the industry, including serving as Vice Chairman of the Yellow Pages Publishers Association.

I know Peter will be a stabilizing force at SuperMedia during this transition and I look forward to working with him in the days and weeks ahead.
