Victorian automotive association recruits former Telstra marketer as its first executive-level marketing chief
Telstra’s former GM of consumer has swapped telco land for automobiles and become the first chief marketing officer at the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV).
An RACV spokesperson confirmed the appointment, telling CMO that it is a newly created role in the marketing area.
Thomas is originally from the UK, and built up years of telco experience working in a number of marketing and digital roles with the O2 brand, including head of consumer mobile acquisition, head of new customer marketing, and head of online commerce and optimisation. Prior to this, he was a marketing leader at GE Money.
Thomas relocated to Australia in April 2015 to join Telstra as its general manager of consumer business, with responsibility for all brand positioning activity and consumer advertising.
In a post on LinkedIn announcing his new role, Thomas said he was proud and delighted to be joining RACV in Melbourne as its executive-level CMO.
“It's a real privilege to join what is a great team, and such a respected and trusted business with so much opportunity. I can't wait to get started,” he said.
RACV provides roadside assistance, and home and car insurance in Victoria and has more than 2.1 million members.

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it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
