Kimberley Ruddock

She commenced with the organization in 2009 as National Marketing Manager prior to the expansion of her role in 2015 with the establishment of a centralized marketing department to service the entirety of Penske's operations.

With over 20 years of marketing experience, Kimberley works across for the suite of brands in the Penske portfolio responsible for brand strategy and management, corporate communication, digital assets, events, and merchandise.

Keenly passionate about the benefit that the marketing function can deliver back to the overall business, Kimberley cultivates a dynamic environment where individuals are encouraged to be early adopters of marketing technology, be forward-thinking, and to follow their instincts in order to perform at the highest level both personally and as the greater team.

Her strategic and coach-like leadership style results in a collaborative approach where her team of marketing specialists are encouraged to put forth ideas in an open environment. Preferring to have her team join her on the journey, Kimberley's inclusivity nurtures the strengths of individuals while meeting the company's objectives and maximising business opportunities.

Prior to joining Penske, Kimberley held the role of corporate marketing manager at NEC where she spent almost a decade overseeing brand management and national sponsorship activation including the Davis Cup, David Boon's Walk for Hope, Dean Jones' Walk for a Cure, and the Master of the Amateurs golf tournament.

Kimberley holds a BA in Business from Victoria University and an MBA from Monash University.
