The appointment moves an executive with experience at Paramount and ITV into a group-wide role spanning Channel 7 and streaming operations. It places commercial performance, investment decisions and cost transformation under one finance remit as Seven continues coordinating its broadcast and digital businesses.
What Natasha Coxhead will oversee

She will focus on improving commercial performance, evaluating strategic investments and leading cost-transformation projects. Operational efficiency across broadcast and digital operations will also form part of the role.
Butterworth said Coxhead’s international experience and transformation record would support the next phase of the business.
Natasha is a proven commercial finance leader with deep domain expertise in navigating the complexities of modern television and digital media operations. Her extensive track record across major international broadcasters like ITV and Paramount, combined with her strong focus on cost transformation, strategic growth, and high-performing team culture, makes her an exceptional addition to our leadership team as we continue to evolve our TV and streaming business.

Experience across Paramount and ITV
Coxhead most recently served as Vice President Finance at Paramount Australia and New Zealand. In that position, she led commercial finance operations and business planning across the local media company.
Before Paramount, she spent more than a decade at the United Kingdom’s ITV PLC. Her senior positions included Director of Financial Reporting and Control, Programme Director: Business Systems Strategy, and Finance Director: Commercial.
That background gives Coxhead experience across financial reporting, commercial control, systems strategy and business transformation. She began her professional career in audit and assurance with Ernst & Young in Auckland and Dublin.

Coxhead said she was joining the company at an important point for the television and streaming division.
I’m delighted to be joining Seven Media Group at such an important time for the TV and streaming business. I’m looking forward to partnering with Angus and the leadership team to build on Seven’s strong audience position and drive long-term sustainable growth.

The position brings commercial finance for linear television and digital video into a single leadership portfolio. For viewers, the appointment is an internal executive change rather than an immediate alteration to Channel 7 or 7plus services, but it will influence how the group evaluates investment and operational priorities across both platforms.
