Google Australia is searching for new MD after the decision of current boss Nick Leeder to take up a role running Google in France.

In a statement Leeder said: “My time with Google Australia and New Zealand has been one of the highlights of my career. The team here is doing tremendous things to help local partners, advertisers, and users. It’s been an honour to be part of it. I look forward to watching Google’s contribution to Australia and New Zealand grow in the coming years.”

Leeder has been in the role for just over two years, before that he was deputy CEO of The Australian and COO of Fairfax Digital.
