Tajer admits delays in automation project – and telegraphs ambitions to be media boss

A project to automate bookings between media agencies and media owners has taken far longer to make progress than anticipated, the president of the Media Federation of Australia has acknowledged.

In a video interview with Encore, Henry Tajer also sent a clear signal he one day wants to be boss of a media company.

Asked about the move to booking automation, Tajer said: “It’s fair to say it is taking longer than anyone would like.” The complicated nature of the project and corporate upheavals such as Nine’s refinancing slowed progress last year, Tajer suggested.
