Nine has unveiled the strategic restructure of its Data, Product, and Technology functions, and appointments to drive digital growth.
To drive innovation and create greater impact, the network has created two key divisions, Consumer and Enterprise. The Consumer Division will focus on delivering world-class products across Streaming and Publishing, while the Enterprise Division will focus on data leadership and developing solutions to support Nine’s broader business goals.
As part of the new new structure, Nine has appointed two key leaders to newly created roles. Lewis Evans has been appointed chief product and technology officer, Consumer. Evans, currently director of product, Streaming, brings extensive experience leading 9Now through major consumer events such the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. His leadership and innovative mindset will play a pivotal role in advancing Nine’s Streaming and Publishing capabilities.
Suzie Cardwell, Nine’s current chief data officer, has been appointed to the expanded role of chief data, product, and technology officer, Enterprise. Cardwell has been instrumental in driving cutting-edge data solutions and will continue to lead the charge in developing technology that powers Nine’s commercial, cloud, and advertising platforms.
“This restructure marks a key moment in Nine’s digital transformation,” Alex Parsons, Nine’s chief digital officer, said. “By strategically aligning our teams to dedicated Consumer and Enterprise divisions, we’re ensuring that we solidify our leadership in the digital space – delivering exceptional experiences for our customers, while building and strengthening the robust technology and data infrastructure that drives our business forward.”
“I’m incredibly excited for Lewis and Suzie as they step into their new roles. Both are incredibly talented leaders with a track record of success. Lewis has been a driving force behind 9Now’s growth, and Suzie’s leadership in data and technology has been integral to our digital strategy. I’m confident they will lead their teams to even greater achievements in these key areas.”
The structural changes within Nine’s digital function, which take effect immediately, will support the ongoing transformation and the continued delivery of exceptional technology experiences.
