oOh!media has announced a leadership transition at the board level, with Chair Tony Faure set to retire after more than a decade with the company.
Faure will step down at the conclusion of the company’s Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2026, ending a tenure of nearly 12 years on the board, including more than eight years as chair.
Philippa Kelly will assume the role of Chair immediately following the AGM.
Kelly has served as an independent non-executive director since September 2019 and currently chairs the company’s Talent & Culture Committee.
She brings experience across real estate, asset management and financial services, and also holds roles as an independent director and chair of the investment committee at AustralianSuper, as well as non-executive director at River Capital.
‘Privileged to be part of the journey’
Faure said his time with the company had coincided with strong growth in the out-of-home category.
“It has been a privilege to have been part of oOh! since we listed in 2014… I have never been more confident about the strength of out of home as a category, and about oOh!media’s future as a category leader,” he said.
He added Kelly’s experience and knowledge of the business made her well placed to lead the next phase.
Next chapter
Kelly said she was looking forward to continuing to work with the board and management team to deliver long-term value.
“I am delighted to assume the role of Chair of the oOh! Board… to support the company’s strategy to deliver sustainable value for our clients and shareholders,” she said.
She also acknowledged Faure’s contribution to the business, highlighting his leadership since the company’s ASX listing.
oOh!media said it is progressing its search for an additional non-executive director, with an announcement expected in due course.
The transition comes as the company continues to position itself for growth within the evolving out-of-home media landscape.
