Who’s running ninemsn?
By bear | June 9, 2008
What a week for the leading aggregating portal ninemsn, with resignations from CEO Tony Faure, Commercial Director Jason Scott & Group Mobile Director Chris Noone topping off a host of senior resignations in the past two quarters. All of this on top of earlier resignations by Jane O’Connell (Head of Content & Network Innovation), Jennifer Wilson (Head of Innovation) & Tony Thomas (Marketing Director) to name just a few.
The upshot – a loss of marketing leadership, content leadership, innovation leadership, mobile leadership, commercial leadership and strategic leadership. The organisation is big and robust though, and like a dinosaur with its head chopped off, it should still be able to stumble along for a while yet, especially with some heavy hitters from PBL Media jumping in to give a helping hand.
A good injection of new blood in the senior ranks may be just what the media giant needs to evolve with the rapidly changing digital media world of fragmented and deconstructed consumer activity. As long as it happens before ninemsn’s media rivals take advantage of its current wounded state.
