Sue Brenchley and Sam Hall depart Fetch TV

Sue Brenchley and Sam Hall are stepping down from their roles with Fetch TV in December.

Brenchley, who has been marketing director for 15 years, will leave the company, which reaches over 710,000 households and 1.8 million Australians. She was an integral member of the Fetch TV executive team and built the business from an ambitious start-up to a key player in the Australian in-home entertainment landscape.

Hall, who joined Fetch over eight years ago as chief content and commercial officer, will also bid farewell to the company, having made a huge contribution as a member of the executive team and as the face of Fetch in the international content community.

The platform is entering a new phase of growth following the recent completion of the migration of Telstra TV customers onto the platform, and both Sam and Sue wish the company and the Fetch team all the very best for its next phase.

Dominic Arena

Dominic Arena, Fetch CEO, will announce a refreshed Fetch executive team and organisation structure aligned to its Fetch 2.0 strategy in coming weeks.

Arena said: "Sue and Sam have been strong leaders on the front line of Fetch, and I thank them both for their contributions and dedication to Fetch TV over many years.

"Sam is a talented executive who has been truly integral to the core business delivering our customers the huge breadth of quality digital entertainment on our platform today. Sue is a hugely well respected and long-tenured founding member of the Fetch Executive team, and has truly put her all into Fetch from when it was an unknown IPTV start-up to now, as a great brand servicing 1.8 million Australians. I genuinely wish Sam and Sue all the best for their futures."

Sue Brenchley

Brenchley said: "I joined Fetch when it was a scrappy start up determined to disrupt the Australian media landscape by creating a world class entertainment service. Over the past 15 years Fetch has led the way with our technology and aggregation proposition, and delivered great value to our customers. I am proud of the product, brand and business we have built, and feel so fortunate that I was able to be part of something so extraordinary from the start.

"I am especially proud of the culture we created under the leadership of Scott Lorson, and I am thankful to the whole Fetch team, and for the ongoing support of our many media, content and distribution partners without whom we wouldn’t have been able to make Fetch happen. It’s now time for me to step down and hand over to the new team, and I wish Dominic and everyone at Fetch all the very best for the future."

Sam Hall

Hall said: "I feel honoured to have built out Fetch’s extensive content offering, negotiating complex deals with global SVOD partners, major Hollywood studios and local content owners.  As a team we have delivered a market leading product that has now reached great heights, and with the migration of Telstra TV customers nearing completion it is time to pass the baton to the next generation of Fetchers."
