Janine Chambers.
ARN has appointed Scott Lyons director of strategy and Janine Chambers head of commercial finance as the network continues its shift toward a digitally driven entertainment business.
Both report to chief financial officer Alexis Poole.
Lyons joins from Foxtel Group, where he held senior strategy and commercial roles across Kayo Sports, BINGE and Hubbl, spanning revenue growth, pricing, performance and long-term value creation.
Chambers brings more than 20 years of experience across media and publishing in Australia and the UK.
She joins from IPG Mediabrands, where she was most recently deputy chief financial officer, and has previously held senior finance roles at News Corp Australia.
Poole said strengthening ARN's strategy and commercial foundations was critical as the business continued its evolution into a scaled entertainment business.
"These appointments reinforce how we make decisions, prioritise investment and build sustainable, long-term value across the organisation," she said.
Lyons said ARN had a powerful combination of leading content, audience scale and growing digital capability.
"I'm looking forward to helping drive the next phase of strategic growth," he said.
Chambers said the shift from radio network to entertainment company was moving at pace.
"I'm looking forward to supporting Alexis and the team to make the most of the opportunity ahead," she said.
