Delany said: “James’s knowledge of the telecommunications landscape combined with his astute financial leadership and vision will ensure we transform our company for future success. It was imperative that our new CFO came with experience and expertise in large-scale customer-focused organisation and in James we have found an exceptional candidate.”
Marsh said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Foxtel and Fox Sports team and look forward to further developing the ways finance can partner with and influence the wider business to drive customer satisfaction, revenues and total company performance.”
