Nine has appointed Cameron King to the newly created role of director of product, commercial and sales platforms within its Product division.
This new function is the next step in the growth of Nine’s Product capability across the broader business.
Working closely with Bec Haagsma, Nine’s chief product officer, King brings over 20 years’ of strategy, sales and product experience to the role and will be focussed on the products and experiences to support commercial and sales operations across the Nine group.
For the last few years, King has been based in the US working as a consultant on the intersection of technology and media sales, and was previously chief technology and transformation officer at GroupM in Sydney.
Prior to this, he held a range of senior positions at News Corp Australia, including MD of digital revenue, alongside chairing the IAB.
Haagsma said she couldn’t be happier to welcome King to Nine and is looking forward to setting up a new product function with him.
"Super experienced, he will bring his leadership and industry capabilities to the business and we will continue to differentiate what we do, and just as importantly, how we do it, with Cam’s appointment," said Haagsma.
King said he's excited to be back in Australia and joining the team at Nine.
"This represents a unique opportunity to work alongside Nine’s market leading sales teams and identify new products and capabilities that can help accelerate their growth," said King.
Cameron King starts his role on Thursday, June 15, and will complete the senior leadership team.
