Henry Tajer, CEO, Dentsu Aegis Network ANZ and Reg Davidson, CFO, Dentsu Aegis Network ANZ are leaving the company with effect from today 27 November 2019.

 

Effective immediately, DAN has appointed Angela Tangas (right) as CEO Dentsu Aegis Network ANZ and Jerome Whelan as CFO Dentsu Aegis Network ANZ, who will be instrumental in leading the business through its next phase of growth and into a successful 2020.

Tangas was recently promoted to the role of chief commercial officer, recognised for being instrumental in embedding a culture of client-centricity and a continuous focus on driving value for clients across the consumer journey.

Says Ashish Bhasin, chief executive APAC, DAN: “I believe this is the right decision for the network and market.

“Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) are important markets and have a critical role in our global business strategy. In 2019 our business in Australia continued to be impacted by local market and business challenges and I would like to thank Henry and Reg for their support during a difficult period.

“To help the market return to growth, the ANZ Leadership team have created a blueprint to enable much-needed transformation, one which will leave the business with stronger foundations and a more competitive local business model.

“As a Leadership team we are committed to all our regional markets as well as providing stability to our teams, business, clients and partners.”
