Rebekah only joined NRL last month in the wake of a major new broadcast deal, but she has over 20 years’ experience in digital, telecommunications, mobile and media companies.
During her previous tenure as CDO at Network Ten, Rebekah launched the Ten Play video streaming service, generating an average of 25 million page and 13.5 million video views a month. She helped grow digital revenue at the network by 74%.
As Rebekah brings her notable experience and leadership skills to serve a new audience, namely millions of Australia’s rugby fans, we know that we leave this award in good hands!
Horne was announced as the recipient of the award after participating in “The DNA of the CDO – Reinvention or Unique” panel sponsored by executive search firm Odgers Berndtson, held at the inaugural Sydney CDO Summit on 1 March 2016.
Paul Rush, Partner at Odgers Berndtson, moderated the panel, which explored the role and origins of the Chief Digital Officer title.
The CDO Summit was held at the UTS Business School in Sydney, Australia and sponsored by Accenture Digital, Odgers Berndtson, and Unico.
The CDO Club has awarded the CDO of the Year in the U.S. since 2013, the U.K. since 2014, and Europe since 2015.
