"I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to make a significant impact to future growth and revenue success, and look forward to hitting the ground running.”

Reporting to Foxtel Media chief sales officer, David Roddick, she will be responsible for leading the Brisbane sales team and taking the business’s value proposition to market.
