Former Nine Entertainment chief marketing officer Liana Dubois has been appointed managing director, Australia and New Zealand, at �鶹ֱ��, succeeding Jane Corden, who will retire at the end of this year.

Dubois brings to the global company, which specialises in production finance, management and payroll solutions, 25 years experience in media and entertainment.

At Nine, she unified 19 distinct brands into a cohesive ecosystem, introduced emerging technologies including AI into marketing and operations, and developed integrated creative and commercial strategies that strengthened audience engagement and advertiser partnerships across, broadcast, streaming and digital platforms. Beyond her corporate career, she holds advisory and board roles for organisations focused on inclusion, community impact and media excellence, including Women in Media Australia and Inclusively Made.

“Liana’s appointment reflects �鶹ֱ��’ long-term commitment to the Australian and New Zealand production communities,” said �鶹ֱ�� president and CEO Markham L. Goldstein.

“She has an outstanding record of creative and commercial leadership, and with Australia and New Zealand continuing to grow as global production hubs, Liana’s leadership and deep industry experience position us perfectly to serve our clients and partners in even greater ways.”

Dubois said she was honoured to join the company at a pivotal time for the industry, noting the region was becoming increasingly central to global production.

“What drew me to EP is its people-first culture and commitment to innovation, helping productions run smarter, more efficiently and more inclusively. I’m excited to build on the strong foundation Jane and the team have created, and to work alongside our clients and partners to shape the next chapter of growth for the region,” she said.

Corden and Dubois will work together through a transition period. Corden was recently recently recognised as NSW Cinema Pioneer of the Year for her decades of service to the Australia film community.

Originally from Scotland, Corden joined Moneypenny in 1986, working on A Fortunate Life. She quickly rose through the ranks and would go on to lead the company when Penny Carl stepped away in 1988. During her tenure as Moneypenny CEO, she pioneered the shift to digital accounting tools and expanded the business to South Africa and the UK. In 2022, Moneypenny was acquired by �鶹ֱ��.
