Porcarelli's departure follows Jon Mandel's move from chairman for MediaCom's U.S. operations and its chief global buying officer to a new, as-yet-unannounced role in parent WPP's GroupM unit.
Earlier this year, MediaCom initiated a spate of lay-offs of mostly middle management and rank-and-file employees. Over the past year several other senior executives have also moved on, including former broadcast buying chief Peter Olsen who joined A&E and former research chief Tony Jarvis who is now global research officer at Clear Channel Outdoor.
At Active, Porcarelli will be a member of a newly-formed Corporate Development Department, which is responsible for implementing some of the larger strategic initiatives across all facets of Active's business.
