Google Australia sales director Jason Pellegrino has been handed an expanded role as head of strategy and operations for the company in the Asia Pacific region, Mumbrella can reveal.

Pellegrino had been sales director for Australia, responsible for leading the teams in the lucrative auto, FMCG and technology categories for the search giant, as well as heading up the mobile ad strategy unit. He is succeeded by Bart Jenniches.

He also took temporary charge of the entire Australian operation when former managing director Nick Leeder departed last March, before former Procter and Gamble marketer Maile Carnegie was handed the role permanently in August.

In the new role he will lead the team responsible for the business strategies and commercial capabilities across all markets in the region, and has a seat on the Asia Pacific leadership team.

Pellegrino has been with Google Australia for more than five years, and before that had stints at PepsiCo, LEK Consulting and Dakota Corporation.

Jenniches has been promoted to replace Pellegrino as the head of consumer, auto and technology, having been with the company for nearly nine years, five in the US and the last four in Sydney, having most recently held the position of head of sales for automotive.
