Former Western Australia premier Mark McGowan joins Southern Cross Media as a non-executive director, according to multiple outlets. The appointment is confirmed by the company led by Ryan Stokes.
Southern Cross Media says McGowan will be appointed to the board alongside Karen Stocks. Stocks is described as an executive with prior experience at Google and Twitter, as reported by The Age, the Brisbane Times, and the Sydney Morning Herald. Business News provides the same core detail that McGowan joins the company as a non-executive director, but with less emphasis on other board members.
Across the reports, the key points are consistent: the company is chaired by Ryan Stokes, McGowan is joining at board level, and Karen Stocks is also part of the board alongside him. The articles do not add new information on McGowan’s specific role, start date, or tenure beyond the director appointment.
