Paul Sigaloff, the managing director of Verizon Media ANZ, has been appointed board director of the industry’s social purpose organisation UnLtd.
Sigaloff, a longtime supporter of UnLtd, starts the new role this month.
“Having worked with UnLtd for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand the difference the organisation has made not only to the lives of Australia’s disadvantaged youth but also in shaping our industry for the better," he says.
“Verizon Media has been a longtime supporter of the organisation, particularly through our work with Musicians Making A Difference, to the point where Dom and the rest of the team have become a part of our family.
"The work of UnLtd is not only inspirational but also effective, and I look forward to working together with my peers to combine our influence for good.”
Danny Bass, shairman of UnLtd: “For many years now, Paul and Verizon Media have been strong supporters of UnLtd and our charity partners, and we look forward to working closer with Paul in his new role as we look to grow our industry’s impact. We have ambitious growth plans and Paul will play a key part in helping us support even more young people at risk.”
Sigaloff has more than 20 years of experience in the media industry from both the UK and Australia and is a board member of the IAB.
In 2020, Verizon Media donated more than $1 million of time, inventory, money and resources to a number of charities including Musicians Making a Difference (MMAD), UnLtd, Red Cross Australia, Inco, Generation, Take 3 for the Sea and Ronald McDonald House.
