Nine makes chief information and technology officer redundant
While mass redundancies are currently being made over at Seven, Mumbrella can reveal that Nine has quietly removed its chief information and technology officer, Memo Hayek.
Hayek’s redundancy was confirmed to Mumbrella by Nine, and is the result of a merger between the network’s product engineering and product management teams.
Bec Haagsma will lead this newly-formed organisation.
“We are aligning our Product Engineering and Product Management teams together into a newly formed Product & Technology organisation,” Alex Parsons, chief digital officer, told Mumbrella.
“This change recognises the inherent connection between Product Management and Product Engineering and their critical partnership in driving our future business success.
“Bec Haagsma has been named as Nine’s Chief Product & Technology Officer, and regrettably as part of the re-alignment, Memo’s role has been made redundant.”
Hayek held the CITO role at Nine for 16 months, before which she worked in various chief information officer roles at Commonwealth Bank where she spent nine years.
