He has 20 years experience in management roles, and has previously been involved with ANZ, ETrade, as well as an eight-year stint with McKinsey & Company where he was a consultant on business strategy.

Rose Tsou, Senior Vice President of Yahoo!’s Asia Pacific region said: “Yahoo!7 is a business with a culture of innovation, partnership and success.

“I’m confident that Stuart’s strong leadership and the experience of the Yahoo!7 executive management team will help take Yahoo!7 into its next phase of growth.”

Sayers added: “Since I joined Yahoo!7, I’ve been extremely impressed and energised by the great work already being done and the range of opportunities that lie ahead for the business in a rapidly changing industry.

“I relish this opportunity to work alongside the Yahoo!7 executive team and the Yahoo!7 board to cement our leadership position and drive continued growth.”
