Alexis Poole.
ASX-listed broadcaster ARN Media has appointed Alexis Poole CFO.
She replaces Andrew Nye, who resigned in October last year and is currently on six months gardening leave.
Poole's key previous roles include group CFO and CIO for Real Petfood Company, finance director for Reckitt ANZ Hygiene, and head of operations finance and business transformation executive at Inghams Enterprises.
“We welcome Alexis Poole to ARN team, with the CFO role being of key importance at this time of business transformation to ensure ongoing profitable growth for ARN," said CEO Ciaran Davis.
"Her proven track record will be instrumental as we continue to execute our strategic vision and deliver sustainable growth for shareholders.
"Alexis will play a key role on the ARN leadership team to spearhead business transformation efforts, including process improvements, digital initiatives, and strategic growth projects.”
It is ARN's second senior appointment in two months. Michael Stephenson, the former chief sales officer at Nine Entertainment, was last appointed chief operating officer.
ARN's operational revenue in the half year to June was up 1% to $168.1 million but net profit after tax was down 90% to $5.4 million, slapped by costs associated with the bid for competitor SCA.
