Sensis CEO resigns

Andrew Day, CEO at search company Sensis, has resigned to take up a position at a European-based company.

Day's resignation will be effective on 31 December, according to a Telstra statement. "Telstra has commenced the process of recruiting a new chief executive officer for Sensis," it stated.

Day plans to take up the role of CEO at World Directories Company.
