Nine chief sales officer says team is ‘focused on the main game’ amidst Sneesby exit and incoming workplace review
There has been a bit going on at the Nine network.
As well as the recent change of company Chair to Catherine West, there are the announcements that Mike Sneesby will be stepping down as CEO at the end of the month, while workplace culture firm, Intersection, is expected to release its report looking into Nine’s workplace and culture – sparked by claims of misconduct against senior executives at the company – in October.
To add some other key elements into the mix, there has also been the rolling disruption of technology and economic pressure on the cost of living internationally.
Appearing on a new episode of Mumbrella’s one-on-one podcast series, Michael Stephenson, Nine’s chief sales officer, reinforced the company’s key strengths.
My experience previously working in sales at Nine was nothing short of exceptional. Whatever cultural issues may have bubbling away elsewhere certainly wasn’t felt in the sales team. The tenure of the sales team speaks volumes to Stepho’s leadership and the culture he created.
