Morgan will be leading the company’s public relations strategy and internal engagement, as well as working on the corporate social responsibility program.
She has more than 20 years’ experience working in the public and private sectors in public relations, as well as government communications roles.
Most recently, she was Acting Director and Manager, Governance – Communications and Engagement for the NSW Department of Customer Service, working as part of the incident response team on the 2020 Service NSW cyber-attack which saw more than 100,000 customers’ data stolen.

“Katie will act as a strategic communications advisor to the business across Australia and New Zealand as it continues to evolve and innovate,” Phillips said.
Morgan’s significant career in the media industry includes working for the BBC in London, before relocating to Sydney in 2009.
In 2010 she commenced as Head of Publicity with Australia’s multicultural broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS). She set up the SBS in-house publicity team before moving into corporate communications leadership roles within the broadcaster. Morgan then moved to the NSW state government with the Department of Customer Service and a secondment to Transport for NSW as Principal Manager, Communications, Engagement & Education.
Commenting on her new role, Morgan said that she is looking forward to continuing the successful work of JCDecaux.
