Nine has restructured its data, product and technology divisions, creating separate units for its consumer and enterprise businesses.

As part of the change, Nine’s current chief data officer Suzie Cardwell will take on leadership of the media company’s product and technology functions within its enterprise business.

Cardwell was named as Nine’s first chief data officer in June 2023 and was given the remit to grow data use across the group.

According to a statement from Nine, Cardwell has so far been “instrumental in driving cutting-edge data solutions” at the ASX-listed company.

She will now “continue to lead the charge in developing technology that powers Nine’s commercial, cloud and advertising platforms”, Nine said.

Meanwhile, Nine’s director of product, streaming, Lewis Evans was named chief product and technology officer for the consumer business.

“This restructure marks a key moment in Nine’s digital transformation,” Nine’s chief digital officer, Alex Parsons added.

“By strategically aligning our teams to dedicated consumer and enterprise divisions, we’re ensuring that we solidify our leadership in the digital space – delivering exceptional experiences for our customers, while building and strengthening the robust technology and data infrastructure that drives our business forward.”
