Harrison
Fairfax Media’s former group sales director Ed Harrison has been named the next CEO of Yahoo!7.
Harrison will replace outgoing CEO for the Seven West Media digital company Stuart Sayers, who will depart at the end of January.
He will start in mid-2014 and Emma Harrington will stay on as acting managing director until then.
Great get by Yahoo7. And another really big loss for Fairfax.
very good call by Yahoo and well-deserved step up for Ed. Big loss for Fairfax.
Congratulations Ed.
Someone who has genuinely raised the standard of each organisation he has worked in and retained his humanity.
We’re just pleased all these companies recognise how bloody good our people are
All the talent comes from Fairfax hey
Do you think Paul Sigaloff can do the job, or just follow ED again? Interesting to see.
Fairfax are happy for him, nice one Ed
The question will be whether his number 2 can actually step up or just follow
Fairfax needs a fresh approach to sales. Let’s hope they don’t just resort to his number 2 and actually bring in some new ideas and blood to lift the approach to clients.
A huge cheer for Ed. A very decent and highly professional man who knows how to wear a Napolean outfit with grace and style. Just know you will do a fantastic job.
Change is good for Fairfax sales. It was time. From what I hear they are relaxed about it and seeing it as massive opportunity.
Congrats Ed!
Great operator. Never heard a negative word about him or Paul. Richly deserved.
Congratulations Ed !
Congrats to Ed and Siggy, both great leaders and nice guys in general.
Congratulations Ed. One of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.
