Experience marketing leader gains responsibility for marketing, sales and loyalty
Former NAB CMO, Sandra de Castro, has re-emerged as the new general manager of sales and marketing at AGL Energy.
De Castro left NAB back in July 2015 after more than four years as its CMO and two years leading the banking group’s customer value proposition transformation. She was previously executive general manager of strategy and strategy for 18 months, and built up her career as a strategy consultant in the financial services space with Corporate Value Associates.
She was replaced by former McDonalds head of media and digital, Andrew Knott, in October 2015.
An AGL spokesperson confirmed de Castro joined at the end of 2016 and is overseeing marketing, sales, consumer sales and loyalty teams. She reports to executive general manager of energy markets, Stephen Mikkelsen.
“Sandra is an innovative and engaging executive leader who will be critical to driving AGL’s digital transformation program,” the spokesperson said of her appointment.
De Castro’s appointment comes six months after the departure of AGL Energy’s former GM of marketing and retail customers, Mark Brownfield, last June after more than eight years with the group. During this time, he held a number of roles including GM of business customers, GM of retail sales and distribution, and the GM of marketing and retail sales.
Brownfield has since re-emerged as divisional general manager of customer channels at Medibank.

This year’s Cannes Lions program is packed full of data, robots, algorithms, voice technology, blockchain, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and machine creativity. But I’m just as interested in more subtle trends and insights.
Customer experience is eclipsing product as a competitive differentiator. CMOs are recognising this shift and talking the talk. But are they also walking the walk?
Much of the talk in the industry is focused on the limited amount of time that screens have left in our lives.
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.
