Liz Deegan’s NRL comms role made redundant in leadership restructure
Liz Deegan’s role as the NRL’s chief corporate affairs officer has been made redundant, less than a year after she ended her 31 year tenure at News Corp to accept the newly-created position.
The NRL said it had been forced to rationalise the leadership team and materially reduce costs “due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant loss of revenue in 2020”.
As part of the restructure, the chief operating officer role, held by Nick Weeks, has also been made redundant. Weeks joined the NRL in 2013, and will continue to work for the company through a transition period.
