ABC commercial director to head up ABC international

Lynley MarshallABC managing director Mark Scott has announced a senior staff move. Lynley Marshall has been appointed head of ABC International, overseeing Radio Australia, Australia Network and International Development.

According to an internal memo from Scott, the move is after an “extensive international search to fill the position left vacant by the retirement of Murray Green.”

The memo continues “This convergence strategy will see Radio Australia, Australia Network and News 24 working more closely. Lynley, who will bring a clear strategic focus and a track-record of bringing about significant organisational change to her new position, will also seek to identify other opportunities to take existing ABC content into international markets.”

The move comes after the tender for the Australia Network was cancelled and the contract awarded to the ABC.

Marshall is currently the director of ABC Commercial, a role which includes responsibility for the ABC’s e-commerce platform abcshop.com.au.
