Naked Communications confirms new leadership team after departures of Carl Ratcliff and Tom Ward
Rolfe, Kirby and Burden
Naked Communications has announced a new three-man leadership team with Tim Kirby as its new managing director, Brett Rolfe as chief strategy officer and hiring Saatchi & Saatchi creative director Jon Burden as executive creative director.
The management reshuffle comes after the departure last week of CEO Carl Ratcliff to head up One Green Bean and the axing of Melbourne managing director Tom Ward, who has since joined Cummins & Partners.
Matthew Melhuish, the CEO of holding group Enero, will continue in the role of group CEO for Naked globally. He said in a statement: “Tim, Brett and Jon combine all the elements we need to form an outstanding leadership team to take Naked forward.
