Guzman y Gomez global CMO Lara Thom resigns

Lara Thom, the global chief marketing officer of Australian success story Guzman y Gomez, has resigned after spending the past decade helping to build the Sydney-born fast food brand into a juggernaut that operates over 200 outlets across four countries.

Thom will finish up on April 24, and will be succeeded by Claire West, who joined GYG as its director of marketing in February, after a five-year stint at the Woolworths Group, and a prior six-year period as marketing director for Westpac.

“Lara brought real energy and conviction to the GYG brand,” Steven Marks, founder and co-CEO of GYG said in a statement provided by Mumbrella.
