About Louise

Louise Cummins helps organisations and leaders navigate disruption with clarity, confidence, and commercial impact.

As an award-winning Chief Marketing Officer and recognised AI strategist, Louise has led transformations across global and national brands - earning her a place on both the Top 50 and Top 25 CMO lists in Australia.

Today, she draws on that experience to guide executive teams and marketing leaders through the next wave of change: AI-powered reinvention.

Louise is the co-founder of the Australian Centre for AI in Marketing (ACAM) and CEO of AI-Ready (AIR) Consulting, two pioneering ventures focused on ethical, strategic AI adoption.

At ACAM, she works with the team to lead national benchmarking studies, executive education programs, and industry thought leadership initiatives.

At AI-Ready, Louise supports large-scale transformation through tailored strategy, capability building, and neuroscience-informed change management frameworks.

Beyond the boardroom, she is a passionate inclusion advocate, a published children’s book author, a certified coach, and the founder of The CMO Inner Circle Network - an initiative that supports senior women in marketing and donates profits to women’s charities. She also serves as a Non-Executive Director, helping purpose-led organisations scale their impact.

Whether delivering a keynote, moderating a CMO panel, or leading an AI workshop, Louise is focused on making complexity practical - and helping people adapt before they’re forced to.

She believes that reinvention isn’t a moment - it’s a mindset.

An enthusiastic adventurer, Louise has completed her ‘1000 Things To Do Before 50’ list - a testament to her vibrant passion for AI, travel, food, and new experiences. She shares these adventures with her engaged community on her popular TikTok channel, @sydventurevibes.
