And the winners are...
Allison Charles – Group Sales Manager, Pacific Magazines
Allison entered Pacific at a time in which her sales team required rebuilding. She did not have a full team to support her entry into the business, was required to understand a new publisher network and needed to establish client relationships across all market categories. A big task for any new manager. Judges said: “Allison showed strong leadership across business strategy, process development, client and revenue growth, and recruitment all while trying to grow a new, under-resourced team. She identifies and removes roadblocks for her team and looks for opportunities to empower and develop them in order to achieve business results.”
Christopher Stobbs – General Manager, Operations and Technology News Xtend, News Corp
The nominee for Chris stated that he is “extremely committed, passionate and unflappable.” A driven leader, Chris has been promoted twice in 18 months, initially managing a team of three to now 50 people. Supportive, collaborative and nurturing, he displays all the qualities of a future leader. His “you can’t do it without the people” mantra is galvanising the culture within this small startup environment. Judges said, “Chris manages to use a whole suite of leadership tools to achieve business results that others could not achieve. He actively measures himself on leadership KPIs and scores very well.”
