Henry resigns from Wine Australia

Paul Henry has quit his post at the Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation.

After seven years as general manager for market development, Henry will leave his job on 10 December this year.

Chief executive Andrew Cheeseman said: “After seven years of service to the organisation and the Australian wine sector, in which time he has made a significant contribution to the development and implementation of key industry strategies, Paul has decided to explore broader opportunities and personal development outside the organisation.

"The Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation will commence a search for a marketing director. The successful candidate will be charged with working closely with our wine community and its allied agencies to deliver renewed programmes and activities that meet the fast moving agenda of the whole category.

"We will also take this opportunity to broaden a number of existing roles, offering development and career opportunities to people in our teams."

Henry’s departure follows swiftly on the heels of Lisa McGovern’s resignation last month.
