Jerry Harris
News Corp has announced the departure of executive group director commercial and operations, Jerry Harris, after 34 years with the company.
Harris, who will leave on Friday, said in a statement it was “time to step aside to focus on new challenges”.
“When I joined the company as a classified sales adviser, I had no idea of the journey that lay ahead of me,” he said. “I have been privileged to have been given many wonderful opportunities, and to have worked with some hugely talented executives and editors along the way.
Jerry changed my career and family life by bringing the Carrolls over to Australia from London. Jerry was a tough man, but always fair. He was smarter than most, but would always listen. Jerry’s special quality is that he always says thank you for a good job done. Steve Carroll, Director of Sales, REA.
