Fairfax loses head of strategic initiatives to CBA

Lee

The head of strategic initiatives for Fairfax Media publishing will leave the company at the end of next month to take up a new role at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Mumbrella has learned.

Tracy Lee led initiatives for Australian Publishing Media (APM) at Fairfax over the last year as the media company introduced metered paywalls for its digital mastheads last June.

Her departure follows that of chief executive Brett Clegg who left Fairfax in July after two years as head of the Financial Review Group, and then also the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, to join News Corp as regional director for NSW.
