Michelle Guthrie joins Catapult board

Weeks before being sacked by the ABC board, Michelle Guthrie told this newspaper that while she was at Google in Singapore, she'd started looking for Australian non-executive director roles.

The depth of her local contacts was insufficient to impress the headhunters, or so she surmised. But she was instead fatefully and rather inexplicably (given the above) offered a role as ABC managing director, which she accepted.
