Senior execs including CMO reportedly axed in Seven redundancies
Three senior executives, including chief marketing officer Melissa Hopkins, have reportedly been let go amidst a mass clear-out at Seven West Media.
UPDATE: Seven West Media confirms major leadership changes under ‘new operating model’
According to the AFR, Hopkins, as well as chief revenue officer Kurt Burnette and Seven Melbourne’s sport and managing director Lewis Martin are some of the reported 150 cuts at the network, with Martin quoted as saying: “I have loved everything about my time at Seven and in the media, primarily the wonderful people I have worked with, and competed against.”
Hopkins joined Seven in December 2022 from Optus, while Burnette and Martin joined the network in 1990 and 1994 respectively.
How many millions did they spend in legal feeds for BRS and for BL? Happy to spend money to defend these two at the cost of 150 staff. I would be filthy if I worked there and was made redundant.
Proud of Melissa lasting 16 months at 7.
Kurt is a big loss looks like this network is prepping for sale ?
