Of her new role, Kate Meade said: “I am absolutely stoked to be joining Ali and the team in Adelaide. Ali has an unstoppable energy and passion for everything Adelaide. This will be the team to watch in 2023.”
During her career, Kate has won a number of Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) as both a radio host and producer. Other career highlights include being named a finalist for both the B&T Women in Media Awards and the Australian Financial Review’s 100 Women of Influence.
