Mastercard has named Jill Kramer as its new Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, effective 1 December 2025.

She succeeds Raja Rajamannar, who will transition to a senior fellow role at the company.

Kramer was previously Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Accenture, where she led a global, integrated, and tech-driven marketing and communications function focused on brand relevance, market differentiation, and business growth across industries and geographies.

Before that, she oversaw the stewardship of Accenture’s brand as head of its brand and advertising team, managing creative development, production, media planning, and buying.

During her decade at Accenture, the company’s brand value nearly doubled from US$12 billion to US$20.9 billion, according to Interbrand’s Best Global Brands ranking.

Prior to joining Accenture in 2015, she held senior roles at creative agencies BBDO and DDB where she delivered award-winning B2B brand development, digital marketing, and communications for clients such as AT&T and ExxonMobil.

She also serves on the board of the Ad Council and has been recognised by Forbes as one of the Most Influential CMOs for three consecutive years.

“Raja’s impact on Mastercard and the marketing industry has been nothing short of transformative. His creativity, passion and relentless pursuit of excellence have inspired all of us and helped make Mastercard one of the world’s most admired brands. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and look forward to his continued contributions,”

said Michael Miebach, CEO.

“We are excited to welcome Jill Kramer to Mastercard as our new Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. Jill’s global perspective and deep expertise in B2B marketing will be invaluable as we continue to accelerate our growth and innovation. Her leadership and vision are exactly what we need for this next chapter,”

Miebach added.
