Gabriella Conlon, Head of Consumer Marketing, Australia & NZ – Google

Gabi’s passion for connecting people with transformative and useful technology led her to Google where she is currently Head of Consumer Marketing for Australia and NZ. She leads an awesome team focused on building Google’s brand in Australia and NZ and connecting people with the best of Google’s products on mobile including the Google app, Google Play, Chromecast, Nexus & Android.

Over the past 10 years at Google she has worked across various areas of the business as well as becoming a mum, twice. Prior to her consumer focused role she led Large Advertiser & Agency marketing, driving engagement programmes and thought leadership across Google’s largest advertisers and agencies.

Gabi also worked as a strategist leading SEM strategy for some of Google’s top clients. It was in this role that she was first inspired by the remarkable power of digital advertising. Prior to Google, she spent seven years in marketing communications roles at Vodafone in both NZ and Australia, consulted widely in the telco sector (and briefly in the financial sector) before hurrying back to her full time love: tech.

Her track record of leading innovative and globally awarded campaigns is built on a deep respect for brilliant agency relationships and the knowledge that only good things come from great partnerships.
