Nova Entertainment mourns a valued friend and colleague Jamie Martinovich

Nova Entertainment chief executive Cathy O’Connor has led the company as it remembers a colleague who has died unexpectedly after a short illness.

In a statement, O’Connor said: “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the sudden passing of Jamie Martinovich, Nova Entertainment’s Perth commercial director and market lead, yesterday.

“Over the past 14 years, Jamie has been a highly respected member of Nova Entertainment. Jamie joined the business in October 2005 as Perth commercial director and in April 2018 took on the additional responsibility of market lead. During this time, Jamie made a significant contribution to the culture and success of the business.

“Jamie will be sorely missed and our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his partner Christine, children Elli, Nixon and Ben, friends and colleagues.”

Martinovich took the top job at Nova in the Perth market after Gary Roberts resigned in 2018.
