Elisabeth Murdoch (born 22 August 1968) is an Australian-born American media executive based in the United Kingdom. Murdoch is the second daughter of Australian-born American multi-billionaire media proprietor Rupert Murdoch. She was a non-executive chairperson of Shine Group, the UK-based TV programme production company she founded in 2001, until the company’s parent, her father’s 21st Century Fox on 1 January 2015 merged its Shine division with ApolloGlobal Management’s Endemol and Core Media production houses, specializing in reality TV.

Murdoch moved with Pianim to the United Kingdom where Rupert Murdoch was running BSkyB after forcing a 1990 merger with BSB. The early years of BSkyB saw a haemorrhage of cash from Murdoch’s News Corporation funds.

By the time Chisholm left the company, BSkyB was the most profitable company in the United Kingdom. As managing director, Elisabeth oversaw BSkyB’s £12 million sponsorship of the troubled Millennium Dome, to the relief of its Cabinet overseer, Peter Mandelson. However, she also faced criticism after brokering her father’s failed £623.4 million bid for England’s champion Manchester United team.
