Chase Carey, CEO of Sky Global Networks, has resigned from his position at News Corp following the failure of the group’s bid for DirecTV (see Insight Analysis: Murdoch Walks Away From ‘Dream’ DirecTV Deal). Carey had been instrumental in negotiating a number of successful deals whilst at News Corp including the acquisition of Star TV in Asia.
