Carin Lee-Skelton departs Accenture Song for ANZ general manager of regional sales role at JOLT

JOLT, Australia’s digital-out-of-home and electric vehicle charging network, has today announced the appointment of seasoned sales leader Carin Lee-Skelton as its new General Manager of Regional Sales, ANZ, as it continues to build on strong client and network growth across both the Australian and New Zealand markets.

In her new role, Lee-Skelton will be responsible for leading JOLT’s sales team across Australia and New Zealand, bringing her extensive media sales experience and leadership skills to grow and diversify JOLT’s client base through meaningful brand partnerships. She will be based in Sydney.

Lee-Skelton is an accomplished sales leader, with more than 18 years’ experience in digital media sales and management, including launching sales teams across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. She joins JOLT from Accenture Song, where she led Inside Sales and Sales Services. Prior to this, she spent 15 years at Pinterest and Meta during the early stages of their international expansion, working in several senior leadership roles, including the Launch Country Manager position at Pinterest ANZ. Lee-Skelton has also had stints at Manning Gottlieb OMD and Hearst Magazines.

JOLT CEO, Doug McNamee, said: “Attracting someone with the calibre of Carin’s experience in launching and scaling sales regionally and globally is a huge win for JOLT’s Australian and New Zealand clients and sales teams. With a proven track record of building high-performing teams in fast-paced environments across multiple functions and countries, Carin is perfectly positioned to lead our ANZ sales operations. Her progressive, data-led approach ensures we deliver genuine value to clients and markets, helping us expand into new territories, scaling our national footprint, and forging more mission-aligned partnerships.

Commenting on her appointment, Lee-Skelton said: “JOLT has a powerful purpose to make it faster, easier and simpler to switch to electric vehicles. I am excited to join a company that is purpose-driven and critical to sparking change across both the global EV charging and out-of-home industries, especially in the digital space.

“JOLT is in a unique position to have a positive and sustainable impact on cities, drivers and the brands they interact with. I look forward to leading the talented sales team and continuing to build on JOLT’s out-of-home and broader omnichannel success, by driving meaningful brand partnerships and outcomes.”

Lee-Skelton’s appointment comes as JOLT continues to experience record growth in both its charging network and advertising partnerships. In 2024, the JOLT digital out-of-home and charger network grew by 92%, giving brands more opportunities to reach urban audiences and drivers more places to charge than ever before. Last year, JOLT also expanded its footprint in New Zealand, rolling out charging stations in Wellington, while also launching into the Canadian market. JOLT’s operations in the UK were also recognised in the 2024 Electric Vehicle Innovation & Excellence Awards, winning best EV Start-Up of the Year and Best New Services (C&I & Public).

Lee-Skelton’s appointment is effective immediately.
