In announcing the appointment, IAB Australia also recognised and warmly thanked outgoing chairman Ed Harrison, CEO of Yahoo7, for his leadership of the board during his two-year term as chair. The role of IAB chair is rotated through the IAB board with a maximum tenure of two years.

Harrison said, “The IAB has achieved a lot in the last two years, especially in its world-leading development of online audience measurement. Now that newly appointed CEO Vijay Solanki is up and running, it’s a great time to pass on the baton. The IAB board is strong and Nicole will do a fantastic job.”
