Henry Tajer steps back from Seven West Media, returns to consulting

Seven West Media has confirmed chief commercial officer Henry Tajer will step down from his full-time role at the end of June, returning to a consulting arrangement with the business.

Tajer initially joined Seven as a consultant in August 2024 before moving into the CCO role in January this year. Seven said his tenure marked a period of change and renewed commercial strategy for the network.

“Henry brought a new level of bold and innovative thinking to Seven’s sales team,” SWM managing director and CEO Jeff Howard, said in a statement. “He drove significant change in his short time at Seven and on behalf of the entire team, I would like to thank him for his contribution. I look forward to continuing to work with Henry on opportunities to drive growth for SWM.”

“Transitioning back to consulting work will enable me to focus on the many exciting opportunities still ahead for Seven," Tajer said. "Finding new and innovative ways to engage and commercialise that audience is just one opportunity I look forward to working with Jeff and the team on.”

In the interim, Seven’s commercial team will be jointly led by national television sales director Katie Finney and national digital sales director Jordan King, who previously headed the division before Tajer’s appointment.

“Katie and Jordan were achieving strong results in the challenging total television market,” Howard added. “They are well known to our advertising and agency partners and will be fully supported by Seven’s broader leadership team through this interim period.”
