O’Connor has been replaced in the position on an interim basis by Sarah McCormack, who joined the company earlier this year as senior acquisitions manager having previously been VP of content and sales at Aussie outfit Flame Distribution.

McCormack becomes acting head of acquisitions at Beyond after O’Connor left to pursue other opportunities. Her next move is not yet known.

O’Connor, who reported to Beyond general manager Michael Murphy, joined from rival DRG in 2015 to succeed former head of acquisitions Yvonne Body after she retired after 12 years with the company.

Murphy said: “I’m pleased that Sarah has accepted the role and confident she will continue to provide our clients with the highest levels of professionalism and service while we look to fill the position on a permanent basis.

“I also want to thank Caitlin for managing the acquisitions team during her time with us, successfully launching new series and maintaining our strong market position. We wish her all the best with her future endeavours.”
