Lee Tonitto named CEO of Australian Marketing Institute
Former chair of the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) Lee Tonitte is to replace Mark Crowe as CEO of the largest professional marketing association in Australia
Tonitto, who for the last two years headed of her own boutique consulting firm specialising in strategy and marketing Tonitto and Partners, has also held senior roles with Unilever, Revlon, AMP and the Commonwealth Bank’s Count Financial.
“I’ve been privileged to serve the AMI for the last ten years starting as a NSW Councillor in 2003 then becoming NSW President, joining the Board in 2007 and then the honour of becoming Chair in 2010. I’m delighted to build on that as CEO,” said Tonnito. Crowe left the AMI earlier in the year following a major rebranding of the organisation.
“We were very fortunate to have an incredible pool of top marketers in consideration for this role who share our passion and commitment to fuelling progress in the marketing profession,” said Chris Mooney, AMI board director and chairman of the CEO selection committee.
