Ten digital boss Rebekah Horne departs for role as chief digital officer of the NRL
Horne: departing Ten after three years.
Network Ten’s chief digital officer Rebekah Horne is leaving the broadcaster after three years to take a role a chief digital officer at the NRL.
Horne, who has held senior digital roles with Nova and Myspace and who was also the founding CEO at Google-backed venture TopFloor, will be replaced by Liz Baldwin, who takes the role of general manager of digital.
“Rebekah and her team have done a great job over the past three years, launching Tenplay in September 2013 and building it into one of the leading online entertainment services in Australia,” said Paul Anderson CEO of Network Ten.
Congratulations to Liz on the appointment, she’s such an amazing leader. The growth of NLM’s digital stable under Liz’s stewardship was stellar and a joy to be a part of. The team at Ten are lucky to have her for the role, great news for Ten Digital.
I guess the NRL plan on just issuing press releases re their digital staggery rather than actually do anything.
The only time I watch the NRL is when the players or clubs are in court for various off-field indiscretions.
If the digital strategy is to make the NRL the blooper reel of sports, I’ll be hooked.
Congrats on the appointment Liz Baldwin. Very well deserved!
Congrats to both Liz and Rebekah – both will add plenty of value in their respective roles.
Congrats to both.
I would hardly say the NRL is any worse than the AFL. Especially this last off season NRHell.
Why would any sane person stream FTA TV between 4 and 7?
I could stream my dog sleeping on the couch. It would be more engaging
@NRHell, very smart move by both the NRL and Rebekah considering they had the 3 most watched programs last year. Can’t wait to see what comes from it
No doubt rebekah has many ideas bubbling up to the surface
press releases in the biz!
