DIGITAL media conglomerate iCreate Limited has named Toni Cooke to the posts of deputy chief executive officer and chief operating officer at the firm.

In making the announcement, iCreate CEO Tyrone Wilson welcomed Cooke and said she joins the firm at a critical time as it continues its evolution into a digital and creative group of companies, having embarked on several acquisitions in the last twelve months.

Wilson said Cooke’s leadership would be invaluable as the company seeks to further advance that transformation, including a pending migration from the Junior Market to the Main Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE)

Cooke began her career at Goldman, Sachs & Co in New York, United States of America, where she rose to the rank of vice-president. In a prior post as manager of business development at Mastercard she played a key role in building relationships and business opportunities for fintech companies and other non-traditional financial players. She also had an extensive stint at the GraceKennedy Group leading the corporate strategy and planning units.

Cooke holds a master’s, with distinction, in business administration, specialising in finance, from the Mona School of Business and Management.
