South Sydney Rabittoh’s chair and existing SBS board member Nick Pappas has been appointed SBS’s new chair.
Pappas, a former lawyer and current Bank of Sydney board member, took up the post on March 5, following the retirement last year of George Savvides.
While the appointment solves the issue of SBS board leadership, the executive is still open, with former managing director James Taylor departing last year (he now runs Ooh Media) and commercial head Jane Palfreyman standing in as acting MD.
Palfreyman is a contender for the top job, a fact highlighted in an awkward public exchange with Senator Sarah Henderson last month.
