SYDNEY: Austereo director of sales Sydney Jenny Parkes will replace outgoing DMG Radio group sales director Keith Thomas.
Thomas announced in March he would leave the role of group sales director in six months.
DMG Radio chief executive Cathy O’Connor said: "Jenny’s experience and passion for radio and her proven track record, make her the rightperson to lead the DMG sales effort at a time of dynamic change for the company."
Parkes has been with Austereo for 12 years and was promoted in November 2009 to director of sales Sydney, as part of a restructure that saw Cathy Thomas being promoted to national sales director and Nikki Rooke join Austereo as head of agency sales Sydney.
Prior to director of sales Sydney, Parkes was acting general manager at 2Day FM and Triple M for eight months.
Parkes will be based in Sydney and starts at DMG on 1 July.
