Tabcorp recruits Paramount executive as its first chief commercial and media officer

Tabcorp has appointed Jarrod Villani as the company’s first chief commercial and media officer.

The role has been created to “deliver stronger commercial outcomes and maximise the value of the company’s assets across domestic and international media, our retail footprint and integrity services”, and will bring all commercial and media deals under one executive, who will also lead Sky Racing, which broadcasts into more than 60 countries.

Villani was most recently the regional lead of Paramount ANZ, encompassing the Australian operations of Network Ten and Paramount+, where he was involved in the launch of Paramount+, the restructuring of various business operations, and the negotiation of sports media rights.
