Welcome to Quick Q – Monday Media’s weekly series dedicated to finding out more about the personalities that matter most in the media landscape.
Each week, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age ask figures across corporate media, business, sport, federal politics, radio, television and culture to answer questions about their lives, careers, hobbies and news habits.
This week’s conversation is with Dino Mezzatesta, chief executive of the Cronulla Sharks.
Cronulla Sharks chief executive Dino Mezzatesta says the best piece of advice he has received is to perfect the art of listening.
How did you get your big break?
I owe this to James Strong – one of the best, if not the best, businessmen to have existed. Sadly, we lost James 10 years ago.
What are your daily news media habits?
Start with a check of all mentions of Cronulla Sharks, then check stadia funding updates.
Which living person do you most admire?
Other than all of my family and partner, my Dad.
Your guilty streaming pleasure?
