Google has promoted director of Asia-Pacific sales operations and strategy Jason Pellegrino as the new managing director of Australia and New Zealand.
The move follows just two months after former MD Maile Carnegie left Google after three years to join ANZ Bank as its new head of digital banking.
Pellegrino joined Google in 2008 as head of strategy and sales operations for Australia, responsible for business strategy and commercial opportunities. In 2011, he transitioned into the sales director role before moving to the Asia-Pacific sales operations and strategy job in 2014.
Google Australia reported revenue of $501.8 million for the financial year ending 31 December, an increase of $63.2 million. Net profit dipped slightly from $49.2 million to $47.1 million.
