Josh Faulks boasts of partnership, regulatory and federal cabinet minister experience
KPMG’s national lead for its Reputation Advisory business, Josh Faulks, is set to become the new CEO of the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) following and international search process.
Faulks will take up the mantle from October and replaces interim CEO, Julie Flynn, who has been holding the fort since the departure of John Broome last year. He boasts of extensive government and stakeholder management experience and prior to KPMG, worked for over a decade in senior roles for federal cabinet ministers including the Office of the Attorney-General, Minister for the Arts and Malcolm Turnbull.
Faulks was also previously head of strategic partnerships and policy at the ABC, head of corporate affairs for Salmat, and manager of policy and government relations at Communications Alliance.

“With strong economic headwinds and media fragmentation accelerating, now more than ever, Australian brands need a strong unified voice,” Brown stated. “Josh is a proven leader who is extremely well placed to revitalise the AANA to be that voice at a particularly challenging and important time for our industry.”
Faulks said he was looking forward to cementing the AANA’s role as an advocate and voice for advertisers in Australia.
“My immediate priorities will be to protect and strengthen the self-regulatory model, to help members build the capabilities of their teams so they can attract and retain talent, and to bring the industry back together post-Covid,” he commented.
Brown and the board also acknowledged and thanked Flynn for her contribution as interim CEO since June 2021.

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.
