Dentsu Aotearoa has appointed Lisa Divett chief strategy officer.
Divett has worked at Clemenger BBDO, Proximity New Zealand, Colenso BBDO and most recently has run her own consulting practice. Divett has also served as convenor of judges for Effie Aotearoa for the past three years.
Of Ngai Tūhoe and Pākehā descent, Divett is passionate about promoting diversity and opportunities for Māori in the creative industry.
dentsu Aotearoa CEO Rob Harvey said Divett's experience in driving strategy that doesn’t just deliver growth for business, but adds real value to the world aligns with dentsu’s global philosophy.
"Her passion for promoting opportunities for Māori in the creative industry is genuine, and I know her expertise and energy are going to make an enormous impact across our business and with our clients," Harvey said.
Divett said she is excited that dentsu's model recognises the power of a fully integrated agency approach.
"Creating ideas which leads us into the 'Never Before' gives me goose bumps. I can't wait to get started," Divett said.
