Music streaming service Pandora has announced that its inaugural Managing Director for the ANZ region, Jane Huxley, is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities.
Tim Westergren, Pandora’s founder and CEO says: “We thank Jane for her dedicated service over the last five years. She has firmly established our brand in the ANZ market, built a world class team, and pioneered our first subsidiaries outside of the United States. We wish her well.”
Huxley added: “It’s been an amazing ride at Pandora, and I’m so proud of all we have achieved. During my time we have grown a listener base of over 5 million registered users, successfully implemented the commercial model in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland, and established many significant market partnerships. With the business on these solid foundations, I’m looking forward to my next adventure.”
Taly Yaniv, director of revenue operations for ANZ and a four-year Pandora veteran, will step into the interim head of ANZ role.
Huxley was a part of Mediaweek‘s top 25 media people in 2015.
