Commenting on the appointment, Leigh Terry, CEO Omnicom Media Group Australia & New Zealand said “Cowie’s background as an agency lead and leadership and development specialist means he’s in a unique position to understand the role training and staff connectivity plays in a people focused business."
 
Maloney, who has held the role for the past seven years, is leaving to "focus on her family and a new business venture," said Peter Horgan, CEO OMD Australia. Cowie's appointment will be effective 1 June.
