Telstra narrows down marketing role to two internal candidates

Bateman

Kingsmill

Telstra’s search for a replacement for head of marketing and media Mark Buckman, who announced last week he is quitting the telco, has been narrowed down to two internal candidates according to sources.

Mumbrella understands the key position of director of marketing is between director of segment marketing Andy Bateman and director of corporate marketing Inese Kingsmill. The search is thought to have begun as long as two months ago after Buckman signalled to the board his intention to leave.

Telstra officially announced last Friday that Buckman is quitting for personal reasons and will relocate to the UK.
