Blyth will move from Melbourne to Sydney in his new position, where he will answer to Matt Halliday, the managing director and CEO of Ampol.
In a statement to media, Halliday said Blyth’s appointment “highlights the criticality of a digital approach in Ampol’s continued success and underscores the significance of technology and the value of data in driving better experiences for customers.”
“The creation of this leadership role acknowledges the crucial role of digital, data and technology in advancing Ampol’s strategy as we aim to stay ahead of evolving trends and demands of our customers and stakeholders,” he said.
“Brad’s experience and track record in driving digital transformation to achieve meaningful and sustainable growth is undeniable, and he is the ideal leader to guide the team through the evolution of our digital strategy.”
Blyth joined Kmart from FlyBuys in January 2021, and this transfer ends his four-year tenure there.
He has guided the store’s early experiments into generative artificial intelligence and led its approach to in-store process digitization during the past four years.
Announcing his move on LinkedIn, Blyth thanked “the amazing teams at Kmart and Target and the journey over the last four years.”
“I’m privileged and excited to take the helm of this newly formed team,” he wrote. “Ampol Group has a great history of success.”
