Simone Gupta is stepping down as CEO of Havas PR Australia to pursue a "personal project".
The teams at One Green Bean, Red Havas, Havas Blvd and Organic will report directly into James Wright, global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective, while a decision is made on a replacement for Gupta.
Wright: “We have known about Sim’s plans for a while now and are very appreciative of the strong leadership that Simone has consistently delivered over her time at Havas.
"I have always enjoyed the relationship we built together as we continued to lead and evolve in the Australian PR landscape with our great agency brands and client work. We wish her the very best with her new project.”
Gupta will leave Havas Group in November.
