Free TV CEO Brett Savill resigns saying role was ‘not the right fit’
Free TV Australia’s CEO Brett Savill resigned yesterday after just four months in the role, with the lobby group noting it is disappointed Savill was not the right person for the organisation.
Savill was appointed to the role in October last year, taking over from Julie Flynn, who retired after 15 years at the helm.
At the time of the appointment, Free TV chairman, Harold Mitchell, said: “We are delighted that Brett will be joining FreeTV as CEO. He brings a depth of experience in the media and technology industries.
“This is most strange” I suppose I will never understand the corporate way of things. I have seen ( been involved in) job applications, where a panel of know it alls are assembled by the company, with the express purpose of driving an applicant through his/her paces. All manner of seemingly important questions are asked and notes taken. How could they get it so wrong at the highest level?
