Hmmm….

So, after all that, it seems that some News Ltd/REA folks are pretty sensitive, doesn’ t it. Peter’s overall take-out message doesn’t seem to have been rejected anywhere officially, that I know of
Would someone at REA like to confirm what has actually occurred instead of nitpicking the minor details here.

(Had to chuckle at Jeremy Philips being referred to as a ‘digital pioneer’. *L* “He was the co-founder of ecorp, the original holding company for ebay Australia, ninemsn and Ticketek.” That’s hardly being a digital pioneer. Perhaps yet another painful ‘expert’ consultant at McKinsey (with S Baker perhaps?), Bain and Co etc who sold-in a ‘me too’ to Oz rather than create some value for us – A businessman perhaps but not a digital pioneer!)

Ps Anyone like to ask J Philips:
1. Where to now for Ninemsn? (Now that it’s an irrelevent, non-top-10 portal)
2. who is going to pay a $squillion for Myspace now that Uncle Rupert has said he can’t see how they can make $money out of it?

Too long-in-the-tooth,

REA’s current CEO is Greg Ellis, the successor to Simon Baker. Jamie was the GM of the Australian business.

Maybe REA have decided that they don’t need a replacement CEO afterall. All they are doing at present is losing good people and re-shuffling the deck chairs. CEO’s these days don’t appear to have any longevity of employment at REA. Or possibly the position would be better defined as Chief Exit Officer

An article in Digital News yesterday stated Jeremy is joining the REA Board.
It did not indicate he would, in any way, be part of the day to day operations of REA.

You spelt Jamie’s name wrong. You named his position incorrectly. Your news of his replacement is completely false.

This category would be better named ‘scuttlebutt’.

Peter, where have you got that Jeremy Phillips is replacing Jamie Pride as the CEO for Australia?
