Ten’s chief operating officer Jon Marquard has stood down after less than two years with the company.

Marquard, who joined Ten in 2011 originally as commercial director, is the latest senior departure as its CEO Hamish McLennan works to put his stamp on TV network.

A former Fox Sports COO Marquard was involved in Ten’s recent sports negotiations for the cricket, their securing of the Big Bash League and also their acquisition of the Sochi Winter Olympics.

His departure was preceded three weeks ago by other senior departures, including the departing chief sales officer Barry O’Brien and also of chief marketing officer Tony McMaster, who left days after McLennan’s arrival at the network back in February.
