The CEO of Publishers Australia, Claudia Sagripanti, has left the association after a year in the role, to pursue work in the mobile media space.

A replacement has not yet been announced.

Publishers Australia chairman Geoff Hird told AdNews: “We are looking for someone to consolidate what has been started this year with Claudia and her team and to continue to raise the profile of Publishers Australia.”

Prior to working at the association Sagriapanti ran a mobile/digital consultancy called VentureOne.

Sagriapanti said: “I've enjoyed working with the members of Publishers Australia, and I'm delighted with what I've achieved on areas such as digital publishing and the launch of YoungMinds and Women in Publishing. With the successful launch of the inaugural Magazine Week conference accomplished, it is time to move on to focusing specifically on tablet and mobile opportunities.”

Hird said: “We thank Claudia for her contribution to the evolution of Publishers Australia over the past 12 months. The team delivered a great conference for Magazine Week and an exceptional Excellence Awards. We wish her the best in her new role."
