Pandora Names Co-Founder Tim Westergren As CEO
OAKLAND (CBS/AP) -- Pandora, which is facing increasing competition from Apple Music, Spotify and other music streaming services, says it named co-founder Tim Westergren as CEO.
Westergren is replacing Brian McAndrews, who is leaving the company, Pandora said. McAndrews has been CEO for less than three years.

Westergren co-founded the Internet radio company 16 years ago. He previously served as CEO of Pandora from 2002 to 2004.
