Andy Lark departs accounting software firm Xero

One of Australia’s most well-know marketers, Andy Lark, has departed his global role with accounting software company Xero.

Lark, the former chief marketing officer of Commonwealth Bank, joined the New Zealand based company just over two years ago and was part of a team that spearheaded its push into the US market.

In a major management overhaul Xero announced that the role of chief marketing and revenue officer would be scrapped and new lines of reporting established.

“To leverage growing management capability in each of Xero’s operating geographies, the company is implementing a flatter organisational structure with country managers reporting directly to the chief executive officer,” the company said in a statement to the New Zealand Stock Exchange.
