The Copyright Agency has announced that CEO Murray St Leger will leave the company in July.

St Leger, a former managing director of McGraw-Hill Australia and former president of the Australian Publishers Association, ‘is moving back to the United Kingdom for family reasons’, the Copyright Agency said in a statement. St Leger was appointed deputy CEO in 2013 and promoted to CEO in 2014.
