Telstra Broadcast Services (TBS) has appointed Karen Clark as its Chief Executive Officer.
Clark brings more than 25 years of experience in the media, telecommunications, and technology industry, having served most recently as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at TBS. Clark has been responsible for several partnerships at the company, most recently with BT Media & Broadcast.
“It is an honour and privilege to lead our exceptional TBS team at such an exciting time in the industry, and I am deeply passionate about the continued growth and success of the company,” said Clark. “The demand for high-performance media solutions continues to develop, and our focus remains on delivering innovative, fit-for-purpose managed services and solutions that meet our customers’ evolving needs.”
Clark is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion, particularly through her involvement with Rise, SVGW Women in Sports Production, and adjacent work with the SMPTE and IBC councils. Clark aims to advance TBS’s global agenda, launch market-ready 5G media solutions, sustain significant growth, and showcase TBS’s value through a steadfast commitment to customers.
Clark’s priorities include continuing the legacy of her predecessor, Andreas Eriksson, who has led TBS for the past five years. “The past few years have been remarkable, and I’m thrilled to build on the strong foundation we’ve established. We’ve taken risks, driven growth, built trust, and created bespoke solutions with our partners. I look forward to building on our achievements and setting up TBS for future success,” continued Clark.
TBS will continue to invest in technologies including fibre, satellite, 5G, cloud and IP-based solutions.
