Vicki Lyon has been appointed chief digital officer of the Audited Media Association of Australia (AMAA) to lead the evolution of the AMAA’s digital services to support the industry.
Lyon previously worked with Ooyala, a Telstra subsidiary, as its director for adtech in the Asia-Pacific and Japan. Prior to this, she was the chief commercial officer for Site Tour, the vice-president of adtech solutions for Telstra, and the managing director for SpotX in Australia. She also launched Tribal Fusion, one of the first international ad-networks in Australia.
Lyon will be working with the AMAA to focus on developing services that extend the association's mandate to increase trust, accountability, and transparency across the digital ad trading ecosystem.
CEO of the AMAA, Josanne Ryan, said Lyon brings the perfect blend of experience from across the digital landscape, having worked with digital media companies, adtech providers, ad agencies, and emerging technologies.
“The opaque digital trading ecosystem, brand safety, and ad fraud are industry issues we are all aware need more attention," Ryan said. "With the AANA, IAB, and MFA forming a working group late last year to review best practice solutions in these areas, the AMAA is now resourced to support this important initiative through the development of services based on overseas models.”
Lyon said her appointment is an exciting opportunity.
“By working with other industry bodies and the wider digital community we hope to align our market with what other global markets are doing to help drive awareness and hopefully do our part in combating these issues,” she said.

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.
