The Gidget Foundation is about to undergo a shake-up with the imminent announcement of Arabella Gibson as its new CEO.
Gibson is only newly returned to our shores, having overseen with her husband the expansion of the iSUBSCRiBE online magazine subscription business into the UK market. In a previous life, Gibson was the director of communications of PBL Media, responsible for all the PR manoeuvring of the company's ACP Magazines and the Nine Network. Her CV also includes a stint running marketing and sales for RM Williams.
Gibson's appointment marks a step change for The Gidget Foundation, whose work with perinatal depression and early parenthood anxiety (where do we sign up?) has been led to date by founder, and outgoing CEO, Catherine Knox, who will move on to the board with her husband, obstetrician and GF chair Dr Vijay Roach – one of Australia's premier baby whisperers.
The foundation relies solely on philanthropic donations. Its two big hit-out events take place in August with the Ladies Lunch and the Wallabies-laden Men's Rugby Lunch. Get involved!
