He was previously part of the Leicester scouting team which took the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Esteban Cambiasso to the King Power Stadium, while he also played a part in Tottenham's capture of Son Heung-min and Toby Alderweireld.
Villa have carried out a thorough review of their recruitment department and see Mackenzie's appointment as key to improving their record in the transfer market.
Villa boss Dean Smith will still have a major say on signings, with the club aiming for a blend of old-fashioned scouting with modern methods, says the Express & Star.
