Bruno Sousa has joined Bonnier Corp. as the senior vice president of the newly created Bonnier Digital unit. In an effort to capitalize on the growing need to further monetize our digital efforts and expand the field of potential clients, Bonnier Digital will focus on all facets of our digital businesses.

Sousa will help Bonnier Corp. and its operating units develop and build financial plans to launch new digital initiatives. In areas including social couponing, video channels like YouTube, ecommerce and other branded and nonbranded businesses leveraging the knowledge of our markets, he will help shape and implement these strategies.
