Ten overhauls management structure as Paul Anderson resigns
Paul Anderson Chief Executive Officer of Network 10 and Executive Vice President of its operations in Australia and New Zealand has resigned. His resignation is effective immediately, but Anderson has agreed to stay in his role in the interim to help oversee the company’s transition to new management.
ViacomCBS will not seek a replacement CEO, but instead plans to introduce a new management structure for its combined operations in Australia and New Zealand, with co-leads for the business. Both will report to Maria Kyriacou, President of VCNI’s operations in Australia and the UK.
Beverley McGarvey, who is currently Chief Content Officer for Network 10, has been promoted to the new role of Chief Content Officer and EVP, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, giving her responsibility for all content and creative activities related to the company’s networks and digital properties in Australia and New Zealand.
ViacomCBS will also recruit a co-lead who will have oversight of all the combined company’s commercial activities and operations in both markets.
The company has also appointed Henriette Rothschild as interim Chief Transformation Officer. Rothschild is a partner at the advisory and investment firm KordaMentha and brings to the role experience as Chief Operating Officer at iSelect and regional Managing Director of the global management consulting firm Hay Group.
