Merkle Names New ANZ Chief

Data-driven customer experience management (CXM) company Merkle has promoted Steve Yurisich to the role of Chief Executive Officer for Australia and New Zealand, as John Riccio moves to the position of APAC CEO.

Dentsu-owned Merkle specializes in the delivery of unique, personalized customer experiences across platforms and devices. Yurisich (pictured) joined a year ago as Chief Growth Officer, before which he worked for Accenture Interactive as Chief Growth Officer ANZ, having earlier been MD of Accenture in the UK and Australia.

In his new role, he takes over from Riccio, who had served as Merkle's ANZ CEO since early last year, and APAC CEO since last summer. In a post on LinkedIn, Riccio said: 'With Merkle's momentum building in the region, now is the time for me to step fully into the APAC CEO role. I'm delighted that Steve Yurisich is stepping into the role of Merkle ANZ CEO. Steve has been integral in making the ANZ business stronger than ever'.
