The Editors EP Jo Mackenzie departs Aussie editing company to return home to New Zealand

After two-and-a-half years travelling back and forth between Auckland and Sydney, executive producer Jo Mackenzie is leaving Australian editing company The Editors and returning home to New Zealand to spend more time with her family.

Says Mackenzie: “I’m sad to be leaving The Editors, but I need to spend more time with my kids and less time queuing at the airport.

“I’ve focused on building The Editors to its current position as a very successful company that offers a lot more than editorial. Now that we’ve reached that goal, I feel comfortable stepping away.”

Mackenzie joined The Editors in 2009 and together with its partners set out to create a business that would become the leading Editorial company in Australia, overseeing a team of editors, producers, assistants and future editors.

Says Bernard Garry, founding partner at The Editors: “Jo has been with us since our early days, she’s helped grow the company and the brand to where we are today – to say she’ll be missed is a huge understatement.”

Senior producer Nicoletta Rousianos will now head up The Editors’ team.
