Joe Pollard resigns as CEO of NineMSN
NineMSN’s chief executive Joe Pollard has resigned after three years in the job, and will leave the company in September 2011. She leaves to spend more time with her family initially, the company said in an announcement.
A replacement has yet to be lined up for Pollard, who is credited with steadying the business after a turbulent recent past.
David Gyngell, CEO of Nine Entertainment, said: “I have worked with Joe for a number of years and have always been impressed with her passion, enthusiasm and executive leadership. I am disappointed to see Joe leave the organisation. However, I understand her desire to move onto the next phase of her career. We all wish her the very best in the future.”
Pollard’s career has included stints at JWT and Mindshare, and as global director of media at Nike.
Sad to see Joe leave, she has done a fantastic job at Ninemsn. Best of luck Joe for your future endeavours.
A loss for them, best wishes Jo!
Good Luck Joe, it’s been a pleasure working with you.
