Former marketing chief for Qantas Loyalty replaces Tim McColl-Jones
Qantas has promoted its Loyalty CMO, Stephanie Tully, to executive manager of group brand and marketing.
Tully fills the gap left by Thomas McColl-Jones, who resigned from the group brand role in November after just a year with the airline.
Tully has been with Qantas for the past 11 years working across customer experience design and delivery, product strategy and marketing. She has been the CMO for Qantas Loyalty for just over two years.
Tully will now report directly to the airline’s group executive of brand, marketing and corporate affairs, Olivia Wirth.
In an internal statement to staff, Qantas highlighted Tully’s brand commitment and experience across product strategy, marketing and customer experience.
“Her passion for our brand and her ability to lead a high-performing team, together with her deep understanding of our customers, makes Stephanie an ideal fit for this role, which is considered Qantas’ chief marketing role,” the statement read.
The top Loyalty marketing job will now be taken up by Tanya Bulkin, who was formerly head of brand, planning and member marketing and has been with Qantas since 2004. As part of her appointment, Qantas said Bulkin will have a dual reporting line into Loyalty CEO, Lesley Grant, and Tully.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
