A senior Sydney media agency executive is facing the possibility of jail after being found guilty of misusing more than $1.75m of her client’s money at her former agency.

Glenda Wynyard was convicted in an Auckland court on Friday of 11 counts of fraud, relating to her former agency The Media Counsel.

Wynyard currently works at Sydney based independent agency Chaos Media where she is described as a ‘founder’. The convictions date back to her activity with The Media Counsel in 2008 and 2009, and there is no suggestion of any misuse of client funds by anyone at Chaos Media.

I don’t this lady, but it looks like her agency was suffering financial difficulties and things got out of hand.

it sounds like her current bosses appreciate her talents and once she has been sentenced and that sentence is complete, I wish her well in restarting her career.

People who do the wrong thing and have paid the price deserve a 2nd chance.
