A2’s managing director and CEO Jayne Hrdlicka thanked Massasso for her contribution, and added that she will be available as a consultant for the brand even after her time as CMO, and on the leadership team, lapses.
“Susan has been instrumental in setting the global marketing strategy for the company and I am delighted that Susan will remain with the business until the end of the financial year to assist with implementation and to ensure the brand strategy focus is maintained, while supporting the transition of a new CMO,” Hrdlicka said.
