The Trujillo dynasty at Telstra continues to dissolve with today’s resignation of strategic marketing boss, Bill Stewart who is returning to the United States after four years in the job.

Announcing Stewart’s resignation today, Trujillo said he would leave the company at the end of the month to return to his home and family in the United States.

McKenzie will replace Stewart, effective 30 March and her replacement at Telstra wholesale will be announced in the coming weeks.

In his role as head of the newly formed strategic marketing group, Stewart had responsibility for corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, market-based management, pricing, brand management and advertising, and Telstra Asia.

"Under Bill's leadership, Telstra has delivered increased customer satisfaction across all our business units and services,” Trujillo said.
 
“Bill and his team have helped deliver increases in market share, improved margins, lower churn and high strike rates for sales. His expertise in market-based management has given Telstra an unmatched depth of customer knowledge and has enabled us to provide high-value, competitively differentiated products and services to our customers.”
