Caesar replaces McKenzie at Telstra Wholesale

An IBM veteran of 20 years, Caesar joined Telstra in 2006 as executive director of customer management teams before taking on the enterprise and government sales role.

That put her "directly responsible for the financial and working relationship with Telstra's biggest enterprise and government customers" - and on a path that will now put her in front of the Wholesale division and on the CEO leadership team.

Caesar's appointment is effective March 30th.

Outgoing Telstra chief Sol Trujillo said Caesar's "consistent top-level performance and her background overseeing large strategic customer relationships were perfect preparation for the Telstra Wholesale role".
