Netball New Zealand officially has a new CEO. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited deputy chairwoman Jennah Wootten has been appointed to the role, taking over from interim CEO Jane Patteron in August. Her appointment follows a troubled year for Netball NZ, including the resignation of former CEO Jennie Wyllie, the situation surrounding Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua, and their struggles to find a new broadcast deal for the ANZ Premiership. Wootten has plenty of experience in both the business and leadership side of things, and she told Mike Hosking they'll be helpful in ensuring the sport and the organisation can reach its full potential. She says there will be a focus on ensuring the grassroots game is thriving, and that the elite competition is doing incredible things, but a big focus for her coming into the role will be the commercial pressures. And one of those pressures is broadcasting, with the current ANZ Premiership deal set to end at the end of this year. Wootten told Hosking the Board and team at Netball NZ are working really hard to find a solution, but things aren't yet at a place where they can be shared publicly. “We want to make sure that we have got as many eyeballs on the sport as possible, because that helps all of us into the future.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
