Prowse replacement flies into Tribeca
Tribeca has found a former Qantas executive to replace chief operating officer John Prowse, who left the listed financial services education provider last year after it announced its proposed sale to the Washington Post newspaper.
David Leek has been appointed as Prowse’s replacement, but will not start in the role formally until Prowse leaves the Sydney-based company in March.
The appointment takes place two months before Tribeca shareholders are expected to approve a $55 million sale to the Washington Post’s education subsidiary Kaplan.
The proposed sale was announced in December last year.
Leek was previously an executive manager responsible for commercial automation and distribution at Qantas, and also chief operating officer for the Australian operation of a global online services provider.
Tribeca has also appointed a new head of sales and marketing, Kathryn Ossipoff, who has held senior marketing and sales roles at Connect Internet Solutions, the State Chamber of Commerce (NSW), Telstra and Microsoft in a career spanning over 20 years.
