Coles 360 has announced two senior appointments with the intentions of strengthening its data, measurement and advertising capability.

Dave Moline has been appointed Head of Ad Product, and Michael Savio as Head of Data Intelligence and Measurement, bringing global experience from leading retail and digital businesses.

Dave Moline

Mr Moline joins Coles 360 from Roundel, Target’s retail media network in the US, where he led commercial product and on-platform strategy. He brings expertise across advertiser and retailer environments, spanning media activation, custom development and platform integration, alongside a strong track record of scaling high-impact partnerships across the retail media ecosystem.

In his new role, Mr Moline will focus on evolving the ad product solutions to help partners connect with the right customers more efficiently across the shopping journey, using Coles audience data.

Mr Moline says he’s looking forward to building solutions that enable more relevant, outcome-led engagement across the entire shopping journey.

“There’s a clear opportunity in retail media to continue to advance the advertising offering by making it more connected and impactful, leveraging our audiences to better connect brands with the right customers,” he says.   

Michael Savio

Mr Savio joins Coles 360 with experience in automated marketing and measurement. Most recently at Coupang in South Korea, he scaled onsite and offsite channels across millions of customers and more than 100 advertisers, including the development of automated audience targeting and yield maximisation algorithms, with two US patent applications.

He previously held a senior role at Etihad Airways in the UAE, leading global marketing investment planning and measurement. This included customer segmentation, marketing mix modelling and multi-touch attribution, and building the organisation’s data science capability from the ground up.

At Coles 360, Mr Savio will lead the strategy and development of advanced measurement solutions.

He says Coles 360 has a strong measurement foundation and a clear opportunity to lead in data-driven retail media.

“I’m excited to join the team and help scale measurement capabilities that deliver deeper, faster insights, greater transparency and ultimately stronger ROI for our partners,” he says.

Next phase of growth

Coles 360 General Manager Tiffany Chen says the combined strength of the two leaders reflects the business’s focus on its next phase of growth.

“The retail media landscape is evolving quickly, and our partners are looking for more precise targeting and clearer measurement of performance,” she says.

“Dave and Michael bring deep experience across product and data, which will help us deliver more effective campaigns and stronger, more transparent results. These appointments are an important step in how we continue to scale Coles 360 and improve outcomes for our partners.”
