Gary Shenk appoints new leadership team for Corbis
Even before he is to officially take the top post at Corbis, the company’s soon-to-be CEO, Gary Shenk, has named a new top management team. The new nine-person executive team consists entirely of Corbis insiders and will report directly to Shenk. Two former members of the executive team “will be leaving the company,” according to a press-release issued today. As announced earlier this month, Shenk will succeed Steve Davis as CEO officially on July 1, 2007.
The nine Executive Team members and their positions are Ivan Purdie, SVP, Sales; Kate Nickerson, VP, Marketing; Ross Sutherland, Chief Creative Officer; Stephen Gillett, VP, Technology; Adam Brotman, VP Networks; Steve Lodis, VP, Human Resources; Sue McDonald, COO and CFO; Mark Sherman, SVP, Creative Resources; and Jim Mitchell, SVP and General Counsel. Purdie and Nickerson replace Wil Merritt and David Bradley, respectively, the two executives leaving the company.
Observers of the company will recall that under Steve Davis, who has held the CEO position for nine years, Corbis seemed to undergo top management shuffles on an almost annual basis. Those same observers will be interested to see whether the trend continues under the new CEO. Shenk says, “This team represents fresh leadership for Corbis and is loaded with proven performers and team players who all want to win, make a real difference and believe in a great future for Corbis. I am very proud that everyone on my new team comes from within Corbis and has a proven track record of success at the company.”
