Mike Sneesby has departed as Nine CEO, finishing last Friday according to The Australian.
Before he left, Sneesby sent a farewell email to all staff, thanking them for their “commitment to Nine, for the friendships we’ve built, for the achievements we’ve accomplished and for the adventures we’ve shared over the past decade”.
“Notwithstanding the tough advertising market conditions, Nine is in great shape and placed exceptionally well for the future,” Sneesby wrote.
Sneesby had more than 10 years with the company including 3 and a half years in top role and previously as founder and CEO of Stan.
His departure comes ahead of an independent review into workplace culture, due at the end of October.
Last week, Sneesby attended one last meeting of the Nine board, headed by chair Catherine West, before bidding adieu.
Nine will throw Sneesby a farewell party in a few weeks, once he returns from a family camping trip.
Chief Finance and Strategy Officer, Matt Stanton, has been appointed as acting Chief Executive Officer while the Company undertakes a recruitment process.
