Vijay Solanki chief digital officer of Southern Cross Austereo departs
Vijay Solanki chief digital office of Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) is to depart after a year in the role.
CEO of SCA Grant Blackley announced the departure on Friday in a memo, saying: “Over the past 12 months, SCA has made significant progress with the latest digital results indicating SCA’s digital audience is twice the size of any radio competitor.
“Vijay Solanki, chief digital officer has led this digital transformation including the creation of new product and data teams plus the initiatives outlined above. He will leave his role given we have achieved this stage of digital transformation.”
Solanki told Mumbrella he was proud of what he had achieved over the 12 months, driving the integration of digital across the SCA business.
“It’s job done and I’m leaving on a high,” said Solanki. “We have 20 people in digital and have been integrating that into content and running boot camps and providing the training and support (for digital).
“We did a similar thing with sales helping them pitch up and sell integrated solutions.”
SCA is not expected to replace the role.
