I wish her luck. But my cynical side says they hired a woman to set her up for a fall. Hope I'm wrong. This part is typical Getty: "Getty Images led the industry into the digital age and has been responsible for every major innovation in the visual content business." Please.  ::)

You don't need access to every aspect of a medical report to know a patient in dying.

Her CV looks very good. Glad they finally found someone.

Now we will have to wait and see what her next steps are.

But at least the ship has a captain again.

Good luck!

The Costa Concordia had a captain.

The Financial Times has an article on this

I know nothing about her, but coming from Yahoo (another struggling business) isn't a good sign IMO.

Edited to add a couple more articles about her, her departure from Yahoo:

This Wikipedia entry isn't up to date (has her still at Yahoo) but I found the reported nicknames for her - she's apparently "forthright" - funny: Scary Airey and Zulu Dawn!

They are trying to raise news money as well.  Perhaps the timing is just a coincidence or maybe the bondholders demanded some fresh blood at the top?

First thing she needs to do, dump all collections. Just House, RM, RF and "micro"

Perhaps she'll start a microstock price war, that would be great....

Near the end of the interview she mentioned nurturing the photographer so they produce their best work. It was glossed over by kelvin because she was referencing this to reaching higher. If she is allowed to follow this concept there is hope but the chairman may never let that happen. It is sad that Getty has a history of treating it's artist poorly!

One can always hope but the best predicator of the future is an analysis of the near past.

"Airey is currently part of a UK Government-selected panel charged with reviewing the BBCs charter renewal."
Grief, she has it in her hands to double my misery.  ::) (Or otherwise, but INHMB.)

yes, but it doesnt matter if I leave or not, sales are constantly decreasing day by day, it is the reason that I left the exclusivity.

She has a strong background with video, so maybe there will be some progress there.

a number of posts were removed for a) being off topic and b) accusations towards another member which may or may not have been true.

I agree we should try and stick together and point out portoflios that are possibly infringement, but at the same time I don't want this forum to start accusing other rmembers of things when they may or may not be true.

New CEO may bring some changes. It can be good or bad. I am not very hopeful because Klein is still her boss.

Let's hope she will not harm our earnings even more by increasing short term profit for her boss. In the long run, it will not do Getty much good either as it has been proven.

Honestly I have seen these management changes so much during all the years I have been there, some 15 years and no dice for the members so its hard to be optimistic.
As far as the GI/IS relationship its even worse. I know people there who are double even black-Diamonds and they are getting like two downloads a day.
The syaing used to be " from rags to riches" in this case its " from riches to rags" :(

Good to know I'm doing much better then black diamonds. The GI/IS relationship is like king and the house servants. IS is worse then the ugly step child of Getty. New CEO might make IS have some leader for a change, because right now the workers are all sheep afraid to do anything. 6 months for a support answer if you get an answer at all?

We can all give her a chance and then by April determine that A leopard can't change its spots. Getty is behind this, nothing will be different for us. We will get the same terrible earnings, or less. They will find ways to undercut our earnings and blow smoke up our accounts telling us how much we should be happy. Nothing will change or things will get worse. That's my prediction.

Actually Getty doesn't have much control either, so GI/IS is like a satrap to his servants I guess, what we are I can't even guess. The company is just a vehicle for debt for the fund that owns it.

I was going to type something similar but you said it well. With the greed and debt Getty/IS is in, any upward commission adjustment simply takes away from their ability to deliver to those two factors.

Here we go again! Once more "Greed" as THE explanation! :)
When will people stop falling for buzzwords and fashionable pseudo-intellectual arguments?

Just to be clear, at your level, you are as "greedy" as they are, for example when you ask for a better pay. The same goes for everybody else who try their best for themselves and for people that matter to them.

He that is without "greed" among you, let him first cast a stone....

The butcher is serving you well not because of his generosity, but because it is in HIS interest to serve you well, or because of his "greed", if you insist in using this word. When he stops serving you well, you only have to switch butchers and he will be penalized.
When he stops serving you well, not "greed", but his lack of understanding of his market, his competition and his customers will sink his business.

If there is something to be blamed about Getty, is not greed, but their incapacity to keep up with the competition, to innovate, to have a decent relation with their suppliers... iStock's RPD is the shame of the industry!

Okay then it's a innate desire to repress.
