Former tourism marketing chief takes the next step to CEO of tourism industry's digital resources marketplace
Jan Hutton is taking the step up from CMO to CEO and has been appointed the new chief of Australian Tourism Data Warehouse.
She comes to the role from Destination NSW, where she was GM marketing for over two years. Prior to this, her roles included Destination Gold Coast CMO and South African Tourism CMO.
Hutton brings private sector and government leadership experience, particularly in strategic destination growth, both nationally and across global markets, as well as expertise in stakeholder management, business transformation and digital innovation.
Australian Tourism Data Warehouse chair, Frances-Anne Keeler, said Hutton was a standout candidate with a diverse background in global, national and regional tourism, with significant digital development expertise.
“Her appointment marks a new chapter for ATDW and the board is looking forward to working with Jan to ensure ATDW continues to deliver on its remit as an essential service for all tourism-related businesses that want to accelerate their growth,” Keeler said.
Hutton said she was honoured to be leading the organisation that has an essential role to play in the recovery of a once-flourishing industry. “Building further on our success is a challenge I accept with pride, confidence and determination,” she said.
Australian Tourism Data Warehouse is the national tourism digital resources marketplace for products, experiences, attractions and events across Australia serving visitors, destination marketing organisations and key global distributors.

The past 12 months have been a confronting time for marketers, with each week seemingly bringing a new challenge. Some of the more notable impacts have been customer-centric, driven by shifting priorities, new consumption habits and expectation transfer.
ABM has been the buzzword in digital marketing for a while now, but I feel many companies are yet to really harness its power. The most important elements of ABM are to: Identify the right accounts; listen to these tracked accounts; and hyper-personalise your content to these accounts to truly engage them. It’s this third step where most companies struggle.
