Seven appoints Charlotte Valente as CMO
Seven West Media has ended its search for a chief marketing officer with the appointment of Charlotte Valente. Valente was most recently Big Red Group’s general manager of B2B, and worked with Seven’s CEO James Warburton at APN Outdoor before that.
Valente’s appointment is part of the latest Seven restructure, announced last week, which sees the business organised under eight key pillars. The CMO position is a newly created role inside that alignment and Valente will commence in the role from October 21.
Valente joins with a history of working alongside Warburton, with the pair working at outdoor company APN Outdoor together
So Warburton is cleaning our the previous LT and appointing a new C-suite of his own choosing? Gotta say, this is a promising change of scene for a broadcaster with plenty of room for innovation. Best of luck in the new role Charlotte!
Trade marketing is a vastly different skill set to what’s required from CMO role at seven. Be interested to see how this plays out. Good luck!
Having briefly worked with Charlotte, believe she’s a fantastic appointment. Forward thinking, contagious energy and wealth of industry knowledge and experience. Wish her all the best.
One of the best! Great work, Charlotte!
Congrats Charlotte, and great hire JW.
What a great appointment. Charlie is a strong leader and team player too – creative, strategic and a really nice human. Can’t wait to see what she does…
