Valassis’ Alan F. Schultz to Retire, Rob Mason Named CEO Successor

In 2007, Schultz led the company through a $1.2 billion acquisition and integration of ADVO Inc., the nation’s then-leading direct mail media company. The successful integration and significant improvements to this business have contributed greatly to the company’s strong financial performance.

“It has been my privilege to serve the more than 7,000 Valassis associates for over 27 years," said Schultz. “Together, we have created a culture that values innovation, risk-taking and provides more value to consumers than anyone in the world. I could not be more proud of the accomplishments of our team, and I am pleased that Rob will now have the opportunity to lead the company as our next CEO.”
