In her new role, Franks, who was Commercial Manager for just under two years, will manage AIMIA’s partnerships, industry development groups and execute on the organisation’s strategic objectives.
AIMIA CEO, John Butterworth, said the appointment of a General Manager was a “great milestone” for AIMIA, and comes at a time of growth for the organisation.
Butterworth said Franks was the obvious choice for the role. “Corinne has more than proven herself in the Commercial Manager role and has already been taking on some General Manager responsibilities.
