Woolworths chief loyalty and data officer joins the board to replace colleague Emily Amos
ADMA has announced a series of board and chair changes across its national and state ranks.
The association confirmed Woolworths chief loyalty and data officer, Emma Gray (pictured), has been appointed to its board of directors to replace her Woolworths peer and general manager of Marketplace, Emily Amos, who has stepped down after four years.
Gray has been in her role at Woolworths for just under a year. Prior to that she was a partner with Bain and Company for 15 years and most recently oversaw its Australian retail and consumer goods practice.
In a statement, ADMA CEO, Jodie Sangster, said Gray’s experience in strategy execution, transformation and leadership along with expertise in FMCH, retail, logistics and manufacturing will help the association reach out to sectors less well represented across its membership base.
ADMA has also announced Publicis CUBED managing director, Mike Chuter, as the new chair of the ADMA State Branch Board Advisory Committee, while Adobe’s senior account executive for digital marketing, Liz Miller, will now serve as chair for the NSW branch.
The advisory committee provides insights on the future direction of ADMA and also has responsibility for events across NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
Sangster flagged Chuter and Miller’s energy and creativity as assets for the board.
“Mike will be helpful on the creativity front, which is one of ADMA’s pillars for customer experience, and Liz will be key on the content front,” she said.

In the third and final episode of our 3-part CMO50 video series exploring modern marketing and why it’s become a matter of trust, we’re delighted to be joined by Telstra’s former CMO and now digital services and sales executive, Jeremy Nicholas, and Adobe VP Marketing Asia-Pacific and Japan, Duncan Egan.
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.
