Lorraine Landon
Head of Agencies
Lorraine Landon is the Head of Agencies at Google and it is her job to make sure that the agencies in South Africa are excited about partnering with Google to explore the best business solutions for their clients.
Before joining Google 4 and a half years ago, she worked as a Digital Media strategic consultant to agencies, after 6 years within the media agency space. She is a committed digital advocate, playing an active role in digital education across agencies, as well as getting involved in programs where people are introduced to job opportunities within the digital space. Her passions are Strategy (media, marketing, and communication) and People and luckily, at Google she is given the opportunity to indulge these on a daily basis.
In partnership with Simplify, the Future of HR Summit & Awards brings together CEOs, HR leaders and HR tech innovators from across southern Africa.
