Melbourne IT has appointed Carolyn Sutton as its chief financial officer.

"Carolyn is a highly credentialed executive with extensive experience leading finance functions across a range of commercial organisations, a strong background in process and systems improvement and in the leadership of global teams," said Melbourne IT CEO and managing director Theo Hnarakis.

"Having been instrumental as a change agent improving financial reporting and performance management in a number of senior finance roles previously, Carolyn is well qualified to provide global financial leadership and strategy for the Melbourne IT Group," he added.

Sutton was most recently CFO at Lonely Planet while it was an independent company and subsequently as part of BBC Worldwide. She previously held senior finance positions at Palmer Corporation, Lincraft and Tanner Menzies.

She holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree and is a member of the Australian Society of CPAs.
