Kerry Field, Mindshare Australia and New Zealand’s chief growth officer has departed the agency, after three decades at the agency, including 25 years growing the Australian business.
Mindshare AUNZ CEO Maria Grivas described Field’s career as “nothing short of extraordinary”.
“Her influence has touched every part of the business, from leading our Melbourne office and shaping our digital offering, to heading up talent and driving growth,” she said.
“Kerry’s leadership, passion and unwavering commitment to our people and clients have helped define the agency we are today. She leaves behind a legacy of excellence, integrity and heart, and we are deeply grateful for everything she’s given to Mindshare. On behalf of the entire team, thank you Kerry.”
Field announced she had left Mindshare via LinkedIn.
“After 32 years, I have said farewell to my Mindshare family. It’s been a monumental journey spanning several decades, two countries, three cities, many different job roles and A LOT of change. I have grown up at Mindshare. It’s been a huge part of my life. I have travelled the world and been trained within an inch of my life,” she posted.
“Like Taylor Swift, you can split my experience into eras and then sum each one up simply, like episodes of Friends…
“1992-1999 era: The one where I started out in digital (not really understanding at the time what a smart move it would be). 2000 – 2010 era: The one where I led the digital product in Australia navigating through the aftermath of the ‘dotcom crash’. 2011 – 2020 era: The one where I stepped out of my “digital expert” comfort zone and into broader leadership. 2021 – 2025 era: The one where I became the ‘pitch bitch’ (not very PC) to focus on new business and marketing.
“As with every step throughout my career, whatever comes next will be fabulous and I look forward to more milestones and achievements. The doors are open for new connections – I’d love to hear from you.
“So now I am officially hanging up my purple hat and am excited to take on a new challenge. Until then, this is a wrap. Bring on the next era!”
