Amazon has appointed Del Fordham associate director, originals.
He will be responsible for producing and commissioning Audible’s content across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and India.
The multi-faceted role works alongside content programming, creative development and production, as well as Audible’s business affairs, legal and finance teams.
Fordham said he is “excited” about taking on the new role.
“It’s a great time to be part of the on-demand audio landscape, and roles like this don’t come along often,” he told AdNews.
Fordham joins from Nine, where he was previously head of podcasts.
“Helping to build out the podcast content slate at Nine has been a career highlight,” he said.
“In 2024 we reached our highest download number to date, and in 2025 I can see that number going up again.”
Fordham's appointment is effective immediately.
