Foxtel Media has promoted Rachel Miller to the position of Head of Sydney Sales. Miller, who previously held senior roles at Fairfax Media and Network Ten, will now lead the strategic direction for Foxtel Media’s largest market.

She first joined Foxtel Media in 2015 and has served as Senior Group Business Director since November 2019. In 2023, Miller was awarded Mediaweek’s Next of the Best Salesperson – Media.

In her new role, Miller will oversee sales across Foxtel Media’s portfolio for clients in the Sydney market. This includes managing sales for the Foxtel Group’s flagship streaming platforms Kayo Sports, BINGE, Foxtel GO and Foxtel Now, as well as Foxtel’s linear channels. She will report to Chief Sales Officer, Nev Hasan.

Miller will also be tasked with creating and implementing innovative sales solutions across the NSW market, maximising commercial opportunities and maintaining Foxtel Media’s market-leading position. A key focus for Miller will be driving growth through streaming sales, forging exceptional client relationships and managing the transition to Foxtel Media’s new measurement solution, developed in conjunction with Kantar Media.

"The current economic landscape has been challenging, with an ever-expanding range of media options and consumer choice. The Foxtel Group and Foxtel Media have continually adapted, moving beyond traditional television to become a leader in streaming," said Miller. "What truly sets us apart is our team’s ability to embrace change, challenge the norm, and take bold, strategic risks whilst delivering best-in-class partnerships for our clients. This is what excites me most about stepping into this new role and I look forward to driving further growth and innovation alongside a talented and passionate team while pushing boundaries in an ever-changing market."

Nev Hasan, CSO Foxtel Media, praised Miller's promotion, stating, "Rachel’s promotion to Head of Sydney Sales is a significant step in our strategy to remain agile and future-focused in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. She has a rare ability to balance the demands of a rapidly shifting market while fostering a culture of creativity, collaboration, and bold thinking—qualities that are essential as we continue to redefine what it means to lead in both linear and streaming media. I look forward to seeing how she shapes the role."
