Sky appoints new CFO, Ciara McGuigan
Sky New Zealand is delighted to announce that Ciara McGuigan will join as Chief Financial Officer in
March 2024.
Ciara is an accomplished CFO and people leader with extensive and highly relevant experience in
media, telecommunications and retail. She is currently CFO at TVNZ, a role she has held for four
years, was previously CFO at Mediaworks and before that held a number of finance leadership roles
at Vodafone in New Zealand and globally.
Chief Executive Sophie Moloney said: “Ciara is a highly-regarded leader and finance professional
with a strong background in media, and we are thrilled that she will be joining the Sky team. We
have just delivered solid results for FY23, building on the positive results of recent years, and we
have a strong and ambitious plan for the coming three years and beyond. I am personally delighted
to have someone of Ciara’s calibre and experience joining the team at this exciting time. I look
forward to the contribution that she will make as we look to grow revenue, increase customer
satisfaction and employee engagement, and double our dividend by FY26.”
With Ciara joining Sky in March 2024, Sophie has also confirmed interim arrangements for the CFO
role, noting that Deloitte Partner Andrew Hirst, who has been Interim CFO since May 2023, is due to
return to Deloitte at the end of September. Former Foxtel CFO James Marsh will be Interim CFO
from October 2023 until Ciara joins Sky.
Sophie said: “I am very grateful to Andrew for his excellent stewardship of the CFO role over the last
five months. He has made a significant contribution during this time, and I anticipate a seamless
transition to James Marsh as interim CFO.”
“James is well known to the Sky team, having successfully undertaken a number of Finance
leadership and advisory projects for Sky in the last 2 years. James and Ciara have also worked
together previously, and we are pleased to be able to draw on his expertise until Ciara joins us in
early 2024.”
“We look forward to welcoming Ciara to the team, as we continue to strive to be Aotearoa New
Zealand’s most engaging and essential media company.”
