Havas Group has appointed David Angell to the newly created role of chief commercial officer for the Asia Pacific region.
Angell joins Havas Group from marketing management consultancy TrinityP3 where he held the position of general manager for the last four years, based out of Melbourne.
Prior to that, Angell held several executive roles during his 15-year agency career that included stints at Starcom, Zenith, Ikon and Mindshare across Australia and the United Kingdom.
In this newly created regional role, Angell will be tasked with leading business growth and "enhancing the network’s competitive advantage".
He will also continue to drive the group's “Together” strategy that combines creative, media, PR and more.
Angell will report to Mike Amour, chairman & CEO of Havas Group, Asia Pacific and work closely with regional and market leadership teams.
"His appointment will help us to boost our service capabilities, bring additional rigour and discipline to client relationships, foster greater collaboration between teams in markets and instill best-practice, strategic approaches to business development at the regional and market level," Amour said.
"With his impeccable track record of results-driven excellence, I am confident that he will play a transformative role in demonstrating our differentiated agency value-proposition to clients and key stakeholders and steer Havas Group on a path of further expansion and stability. I am delighted to welcome him to the Havas family.”
