Australian Internet player LibertyOne has made Warren Lee, formerly its business development manager, CEO, filling the hole left by the recent resignation of former boss Don Hagens.
LibertyOne managing director Graham Bristow pointed to Lee's background at News Limited, Foxtel and Channel Ten, as well as his work at LibertyOne since he joined in October, as being "a major factor in the board's decision".
"During his time at LibertyOne and in previous positions, Warren has developed relationships with some of the leading local and international Internet companies - an experience which will be essential in his new role," Bristow said.
One of Lee's first roles will be the launch in the coming fortnight of LibertyOne's Excite portal.
