Mark Buckman promoted to executive role at Telstra as Rick Ellis departs
Buckman
Teslstra’s head of marketing Mark Buckman has been handed an expanded remit, taking on the media responsibilities vacated by Sensis boss Rick Ellis who is leaving the company following the sale of the division.
It is the second time in the space of 12 months Buckman has seen his remit expanded at the telco, which he joined in 2011 from the Commonwealth Bank, having taken on the IPTV and digital media responsibilities last March.
His new role is group managing director of media and marketing, which sees him elevated to the senior executive group which supports the CEO leadership team in setting the company’s strategy.
Congratulations Mark. Look forwards to sharing a burrito with you soon.
Given the supposed status of media in the Telstra strategy, they have a very long way to go. Or is this confirmation that media is no longer a big priority?
