TELECOM APPOINTS JOLIE HODSON AS NEW CFO
Telecom announced today the appointment of Jolie Hodson as its new chief
financial officer. She succeeds Nick Olson, whose resignation was announced
last December.
A New Zealander, Jolie has worked for the past 12 years with the Lion group,
Australasia's largest beverages group with earnings before interest and tax
in excess of A$600 million.
Since April 2008 she has been Sydney-based finance director of the Beer,
Spirits & Wine Australia division, Lion's largest business unit. Her previous
roles within Lion include sales & marketing, commercial finance, planning and
corporate finance.
Before joining Lion in 2000, Jolie spent eight years with Deloitte's audit
division based in Auckland, rising to senior audit manager. She gained a
Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Auckland and has attended the
Strategic Management Program at Sydney's Macquarie Graduate School of
Management.
"Jolie brings strong and varied experience from more than a decade working in
an industry widely recognised for a strong focus on brands, customer service
excellence and operating in highly competitive markets. All of these are
common characteristics of the environment in which Telecom now operates,"
Telecom chief executive Simon Moutter commented.
"Jolie has a proven track record at translating strategy into execution and
will be a welcome addition to our leadership team as we accelerate our
strategic shift to become a future-oriented, competitive provider of
communication, entertainment and IT services delivered over our networks and
the Cloud."
Jolie is due to start her new role at Telecom in June 2013. Pending her
arrival, Tim Bluett, previously GM Commercial Finance, will be Acting CFO.
