Screenwest was delighted to announce that Seph McKenna had accepted the role as CEO in November 2017. Last Friday, he ceased to hold that position. I understand that it happened suddenly and took effect immediately.

Stakeholders have been informed that Willie Rowe is now the acting CEO. Rowe was Barnett’s Chief of Staff in the closing year of his government, has been interim CEO of the WA AIDS Council, and Lead Advisor at gtmedia, a boutique communications agency under the banner of Build, Grow, Protect.
