Analytics vendor says new marketing leader will focus on innovation programs for customers
SAS has appointed experienced marketing and sales executive, Iggy Pintado, as its new head of marketing for Australia and New Zealand.
Pintado was most recently the general manager of member and marketing services at the Australian Institute of Company Directors for two years, and has also spent the past 14 years in sales and marketing roles with several IT and telecoms companies including IBM, Telstra and UXC Connect.
He is also the author of Connected Generation, and ran his own networking consulting practice, ConnectGen, for two years.
Pintado replaces former head of marketing and product strategy James Foster, who left SAS in July to become chief marketing officer at SMS Management and Technology, and will report directly to SAS’s local chief operating officer, Lynette Clunies-Ross.
“Iggy joins us following a long and very impressive record of sales and marketing success, and we look forward to the very positive contribution he will make at SAS,”she said of his appointment.
“Today, organisations are increasingly information-rich but insight-poor. Iggy will drive innovative programs that enable our customers to unlock deep analytical insights for business gain.”

The purpose of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has always been to replace the menial and repetitive tasks we do each day in every sector, so that we can concentrate on doing what we do best. Saving time and money has certainly been a decent outcome as AI infiltrates the business landscape, however, now we are starting to see problems that cause major issues in practice.
If you’re in any customer-centric role, you’ll likely be familiar with the Net Promoter Score (NPS) – one of the most popular tools for brands to measure their customer sentiment.
Most marketing theory was established in the context of stable employment relationships. From front-line staff to marketing strategists and brand managers, employees generally enjoyed job security with classic benefits such as superannuation plans, stable income streams, employment rights, training, sabbaticals and long-service leave.
In this bonus last episode of this new podcast series, BrandHook MD, Pip Stocks, talks with former ANZ group general manager of marketing, Louise Eyres, talks about the importance of thinking like a customer and using intuition to solve customer painpoints.
Thank you! That was useful to know.
