The CEO of Crikey’s owner Private Media is to depart, Mumbrella can reveal.

Marina Go, who took on the role just a year ago, is to leave for family reasons. She announced the move to staff a few minutes ago. Chief operating officer Jason Kibsgaard will become acting CEO.

The independently owned Private Media, which also publishes Women’s Agenda, Smart Company, Property Observer, Start Up Smart and Mandarin, is headquartered in Melbourne. Go lives in Sydney where the company also has an office.

Go told Mumbrella that she was making the choice because her son was of HSC age and she was spending a couple of nights a week in Melbourne. Her husband works nights on The Australian.

Marina,
I buy all this, but you are not allowed to sneak in and sit the exams for him.
That’s it!
PS I’ve worked with Marina twice and she is as hard at the wheel as any executive I know. HSC examiners, be afraid.
