Speaking on the appointments, Wiadrowski said: “Krista has delivered exceptional results over her career and extended her experience across all areas of the business. Elizabeth has a strong track record in running large, high-performance teams and has a real passion for supporting the growth, development, and careers of those that she leads. Both will be great assets to the NSW sales leadership team. I look forward to welcoming Elizabeth in October and congratulate Krista on her well-deserved new role.”
Wade James, national head of agency sales, oOh! added: “The appointment of group business directors and evolution of our structure to align with operational needs sets oOh! up for a strong future, while providing new opportunities for advancement within the NSW Agency team.
“We have exciting new OOH opportunities due to go live in 2024, including Sydney Metro Trains, Woollahra Council and Sydney Metro Martin Place, in addition to our already large inventory of digital and classic sites across the state. These outstanding sales leaders are highly experienced and will ensure our agency partners continue delivering for advertisers and make their brands unmissable.”
The new roles and structure will be implemented over the coming months.
