His leadership acumen and track record for inspiring and driving performance at Google will greatly assist him to take Domain, and its many talented people, into an exciting next stage of growth.”
Mr Pellegrino joined Google in 2008 and held a range of leadership positions before being appointed managing director Australia and New Zealand.
