FBi announce new Managing Director

FBi 94.5FM have announced Clare Holland as the station’s new Managing Director.

Clare is currently the Executive Director of Underbelly Arts, a fellow Sydney based arts organisation that, like FBi, is passionately dedicated to finding larger audiences for emerging artists. Prior to Underbelly Arts, Clare worked in a variety of marketing, HR and financial roles at other arts and non-profit organisations such as the Sydney Festival, Biennale of Sydney and FBi.

FBi’s President Cass Wilkinson stated: “FBi is about supporting local creative communities and enriching Sydney’s vibrant culture. Clare shares this passion and was part of the original team starting in 2004. We feel immensely proud to welcome back one of our brightest and are fortunate to have a new Managing Director with a deep understanding of the station, experience in executing large scale projects and a connectedness to the many creative communities FBi represents.”

Clare Holland commented: “It is with great enthusiasm that I accept this appointment. I am a passionate advocate and lover of culture, and a strong believer in FBi’s impact on shaping the cultural landscape of Sydney over the last 10 years.  FBi is a community station, meaning community in all the best senses of the word and I look forward to building on the recent work of Evan Kaldor and the board, the staff and the countless broadcasters, volunteers and supporters that have built FBi into what it is today. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to step into the role in such an exciting time in FBi’s history and can’t wait to take FBi into its second decade of making great radio and supporting local music, arts and culture.”

Clare will commence her role on June 1 2013.
