News Corp has created a chief digital officer across the group and promoted former CMO to a COO role as part of new senior executive team changes announced this week.
In a move aimed at strengthening publishing and digital business, News Corp said it had promoted managing director of News Digital Networks Australia, Nicole Sheffield, to chief digital officer, taking additional responsibility for digital revenue growth and strategy. The role will also see her tasked with audience and subscription growth, content optimisation and marketing and digital product innovation. Sheffield retains her position across NewsLifeMedia’s magazine division.
News Corp has also promoted Damian Eales, to chief operating officer of publishing. The role puts him in charge of all aspects of metro, regional and community publishing, a list that includes eight metro daily and Sunday mastheads, 19 regional titles and 100 community titles.
Eales was most recently MD of metros and regions, and previously chief marketing officer at News Corp. He originally joined the organisation in 2013 as strategic partnerships director. Last June, News Corp brought on former Woolworths and Coles marketer, Tony Phillips, as its CMO.
News Corp Australasia executive chairman, Michael Miller, said the latest executive promotions come after other recent personnel changes, including the appointment of Dominic Hatfield to chief technology officer, and Lou Barrett to executive general manager of network sales.
“These appointments will ensure we meet our strategic priorities to maximise revenue and audience opportunities,” Miller said in a statement. “It is important we adapt our business to respond to changes in market conditions and with Damian and Nicole at the helm, it will ensure we are structured for future growth and success.”

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
