News Corp Australia has hired two technology executives, with Nicholle Lindner to lead its enterprise, AI and data platforms and Paul Stevenson to oversee AI, innovation and transformation. The appointments cover platform management, data strategy and the adoption of emerging technologies.
Stevenson’s most recent position was a CxO advisory role at Salesforce. News Corp said his new responsibilities would include working alongside editorial, commercial and digital teams to assess and introduce emerging technologies. He will also contribute to AI planning, oversee the innovation hub and guide transformation projects within the technology, data and digital division.
Lindner will move from Deloitte in December. The company said she would be responsible for the core software, data and AI platforms used by its publishing network and 24-hour operations. Her remit includes setting data strategy and running platforms that allow teams to introduce digital products securely and quickly.
Nandor Locher, chief digital and technology officer, said closer links between technology teams and daily operations were essential as the company accelerated its digital plans.
