Mediaworks appoints director of technology

MediaWorks has appointed its current TV engineering manager Roger Randle to the group role of director of Technology.

Group managing director Sussan Turner says Randle has the technical skills, strategic ability, leadership strength and his respect from within the industry were all important factors in his appointment.

"He thoroughly understands the MediaWorks culture and his appointment will make for a seamless transition," she says.

Randle will oversee all technology requirements for MediaWorks across the radio, TV and Interactive divisions of the Company.

Randle has been with MediaWorks since 2001 and he has been TV Engineering manager since 2004.

He has enjoyed a 20 year career in the broadcast and IT industry, commencing in the UK before relocating to New Zealand where he worked for Fisher & Paykel and Panasonic New Zealand prior to joining MediaWorks.

The appointment is effective immediately. Randle is replacing industry veteran John Allen who announced he was stepping down from his position two months ago. Allen will continue to work with MediaWorks in a consulting role.
