Randy Aquino said, “I’m extremely happy with my achievements at Monde Nissin, merging consumer and business insights to tap into emerging segments, and spurring expansion in the region. Now I look forward to delivering business growth for clients and Y&R as I return to the agency side.”

He succeeds Anna Testa, who is stepping down.

Added Bhasin, “A very big thank you to Anna for her wonderful contribution to the agency in many areas. During her time with us, Y&R Philippines has seen a slew of new business wins including Asia Brewery Inc and Goldilocks, as well as winning the country’s only APAC Effie for TURDTalks and being named ‘Best in Industry Leadership and Community Service’. Anna’s warm and generous nature will be missed by the many agency folks she has helped nurture and grow. We wish her all the very best with her future plans.”
