Chris Mayo is a data-driven marketing executive and managing director with 15+ years of experience building high-performance teams and delivering measurable growth across B2B and B2C sectors including FMCG, automotive, mining and industrial products. He combines commercial rigour with hands-on digital transformation skills—optimising CRM stacks like HubSpot, launching sales-enabling apps, and architecting KPI dashboards that turned marketing into a clear revenue driver. Chris has a track record of dramatic, outcome-focused wins (MQLs tripled at Aletek, sustained 30% YoY growth at Aeroklas, and a 749% ROI airport campaign) while also executing brand overhauls and GTM strategies across global markets. Equally comfortable leading strategy and rolling up his sleeves, he has turned underperforming departments into centrepieces of commercial growth through capability development and role redesign. Beyond marketing, he contributes to open-source projects in geospatial and Python tooling, improving build reliability and test suites—an uncommon technical tilt for a senior marketer. Based in Brisbane, he blends academic training in negotiation and management with practical experience driving franchise and international expansion.
