AUCKLAND, Today: Proximity NZ has launched a CXM division with Kate De Marco and Nathalie Philippsen named as co-directors.

Both were promoted from internal roles at Proximity. Philippsen was previously a senior business director, Kate De Marco was planning director.

Proximity NZ ceo Chris Pescott said: “Many businesses suffer financially from poor CXM due to disconnected and under-prioritised approaches to their strategies. Recognising these issues, Proximity NZ has launched a new CXM division to the business.
