“I have spent close to a decade with Google and consider myself enormously lucky to have worked with fantastic colleagues, partners and customers, dealing with the rapid shift in technology from desktop to smartphone and now the AI powered world ahead.

“Throughout this time, I have always prided myself on supporting the growth of incredibly strong teams and establishing transparent and trusting relationships with partners and customers – something I am looking forward to continuing as I join Domain.”

Domain said in a statement to shareholders that it ran a comprehensive global search for the role, attracting a strong field of international and local candidates.
