Former Nine CFO Paul Koppelman joins Dentsu

February 2, 2021 8:51

Dentsu Australia has appointed former Nine Entertainment Co chief financial officer Paul Koppelman as CFO for Australia and New Zealand. Koppelman replaces Jerome Whelan, who has moved into a regional finance role to support Dentsu’s APAC business and operations teams.

Koppelman left Nine suddenly in mid 2020 after only 10 months in the role to be with his family in Melbourne’s lockdown after the death of a relative. Nine then appointed Maria Phillips as chief financial officer.

Prior to Nine, Koppelman held CFO roles with Aconex, AXA, Medibank and BHP, and has had a career spanning Australia, London, and The Netherlands.
