Telstra reshuffles senior management October 23, 2013 - 6:00PM Telstra is reshuffling its senior management as part of an effort to boost revenue and focus on new growth areas. Chief executive David Thodey said the restructure was designed to ensure the company was focused on customer and revenue growth, and working on new areas like network services and e-health. The changes were not made to establish a succession plan for the top job at Telstra, with Mr Thodey saying he had no intention of stepping down any time soon. "I'm really enjoying this job, I love it, I enjoy technology and while they still want me I'm still here," he said. Under the reshuffle, chief operating officer Brendan Riley has been appointed group executive of Global Enterprises and Services, a new $5 billion unit that includes areas such as cloud computing, network services, government and defence. Telstra's innovation chief Kate McKenzie will replace Mr Riley as chief operating officer, while chief customer officer Gordon Ballantyne has been appointed as head of the Telco's retail team.
