Wendy Moore has resigned as Executive Director of Entertainment Content and Channels at Foxtel, after six years with the company, to launch a new venture. Foxtel CEO Hilary Perchard said in a note to staff: “Wendy has been in discussion with us about her plans for some time and, in true Wendy style, she has agreed to work with us until toward the end of this year. This will provide a smooth transition, ensure the team is well-supported through change, and allow enough time to put the groundwork in place for the next chapter of our commitment to delivering premium entertainment and lifestyle content that our customers love.”
Moore’s departure comes amid a period of restructuring at Foxtel under the ownership of global sports streaming company DAZN. Her resignation follows the departure of Alison Hurbert-Burns, whom she succeeded as Executive Director for Commissioning and Content in February. The company has recently undergone leadership changes and staff reductions as part of its strategic realignment. Foxtel Group is currently undertaking a local and international search for Moore's replacement.
Wendy Moore joined Foxtel in 2019 as General Manager of our LifeStyle Group, later overseeing all of Foxtel’s owned and operated suite of channels, including content operations. Most recently, she expanded her remit to include the production of both Original Scripted and Unscripted shows. She also featured on air in "Selling Houses Australia," a role which will continue into its 18th season.
Beyond her achievements in content and strategy, Wendy’s commitment to people and her legacy as a leader set her apart. She has built and nurtured an incredible team, identifying talent, supporting the development of staff, and creating opportunities for growth across the business. Wendy, thank you for your leadership, vision, authenticity, and unwavering dedication to making the Foxtel Group a place where people thrive and audiences are inspired. You will be greatly missed, but we are so pleased that you will remain part of the Foxtel family,” said Perchard.
Wendy Moore said: “The past six years have been an incredible experience, both personally and professionally. I have loved my time at Foxtel and have been privileged to work with many talented people on many incredible productions and projects. Leaving was an incredibly difficult decision, but after six years, now is the right time in my life for a change to start a new business venture in an area that I am passionate about. I know the company and customers are in very safe hands with a passionate team of people who will continue to grow and push boundaries. I’m proud to be part of the Foxtel story and to have the opportunity to continue my contribution as part of Selling Houses Australia.”
