Unilever hunts CMO as another marketer departs

Unilever has begun recruiting a new chief marketing officer for Australia and New Zealand after two senior marketing leaders exit within six months.

The FMCG giant farewelled former CMO John McKeon in January and will now see his successor, Anna Tracey, depart in June.

Tracey, a 13-year Unilever veteran, was promoted from personal care marketing and strategy director to CMO in March with prior knowledge she would leave within three months, the company said.
