Network Ten Taps Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer

Network Ten has hired Sunita Gloster, former head of the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA), for the new position of chief commercial and strategy officer.

Gloster will oversee network strategy and digital and commercial partnerships. She will report to Paul Anderson, the CEO of Network Ten. Since 2013, Gloster had been serving as CEO of the AANA. She has also held senior executive roles in Australia and internationally, including more than a decade in London working for major brands at leading advertising networks.

Anderson commented: “Ten has embarked on a significant transformation plan for efficiencies, investment and growth and we are thrilled Sunita is joining Ten in this important new role for our network.

“Sunita has exceptional understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing blue-chip brands in the Australian market and that knowledge and experience will be invaluable for driving growth, innovation and results for our partners.

“Sunita has an impressive track record in strategy, management and organizational change and is globally recognized for her initiatives at the AANA, particularly across media and digital industry supply chains.

“Sunita’s appointment will bring enormous commercial experience and energy to our team at a critical time for both the business and the broader media and marketing industries.”

Gloster added: “Today’s business climate requires every enterprise—brand owner or media company—to rethink and recalibrate for a sustainable future and with that comes tremendous opportunity.

“Paul Anderson and the management team at Ten have started a true transformation program and I’m genuinely excited to be joining at a time when media and brands are navigating through a time of great change and reinvention.”
