Fairfax’s Matt Rowley: ‘When you’re finished changing, you’re finished’
From team restructures to unexpected partnerships, Fairfax has had a big year. Here, chief revenue officer Matt Rowley looks back over the insights that shaped the company in 2017.
“When you’re finished changing, you’re finished”. Ben Franklin’s axiom underlies Fairfax Metro Publishing’s 2017. New leadership, new tech, new products – we’re far from finished finding new ways to create value and growth.
It’s also been the driving force of the recent developments rounding out this pivotal year in our business: a new commercial team structure, our partnership with Google, and the publisher data cooperative.
