in brief National internet service provider Internode has promoted internal staff Liz Cornelissen to be its first chief operations officer, ending a small string of senior management appointments.

Cornelissen was previously the ISP's customer services manager, a position she has held for the past six years. She has previously held senior positions within Reuters and AAP.

"As COO, Liz's primary responsibilities will be to lead and manage our business units in Customer Services, Sales, Media, Product Management and the Business Programs," said Internode CEO Patrick Tapper in a statement issued today.

The appointment comes after Internode has made a series of senior appointments, including former group general manager to chief executive, financial controller Sean Habgood to chief financial officer, and Mike Damms to the chief information officer post. Founder Simon Hackett retains the post of managing director.
