SCA Brisbane’s New GM

Southern Cross Austereo have appointed Damon Rielly as the new General Manager for hit 105 and Triple M. It sees him return to the SCA fold, where he was Director of Sales and led both the agency and direct sales until 2007.

Moving to the digital space as Head of Developer and Media at REA Group, he then shifted to Malaysia in 2011 to take up the role of Chief Operating Officer at Catcha Media. In 2012 Damon was appointed Group Chief Executive Officer for iCar Asia Ltd (ASX:ICQ), the largest network of automotive portals in Asia.

SCA’s CEO Grant Blackley said, “We are very fortunate to have secured such a high level and experienced executive to fill the ‘big shoes’ that Richard leaves.

“We are excited to have Damon on board as Brisbane General Manager and believe he will make an impact to our wider business with his successful track record in senior management particularly in successful digital companies.”

After a holiday, Damon will bring his young family to Brisbane later this year saying:  “I’m very excited to be returning to SCA and Brisbane after 9 years working in digital media, with 6 of those years overseas. Taking over the leadership of SCA Brisbane is a challenge I look forward to and can’t wait to get started when I return to Brisbane.”

Damon Rielly replaces Richard Barker who will be the new CEO for Queensland Rugby.
