ASIA-PACIFIC – SINGAPORE, FEBRUARY 13, 2012: EURO RSCG South East Asia hires Renuka Jaypal as chief executive officer and Victor Ng as chief creative officer.
Jaypal joins Euro RSCG from Ogilvy & Mather where she spent the past 12 years in various roles, including managing director of OgilvyOne India and more recently Group CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Indonesia. Jaypal has more than 20 years of experience in the industry and her account portfolio includes various domestic and multinational clients such as IBM, Cadbury, Vodafone, Unilever and Coca Cola. She will be based in Singapore.
"Having worked most of my life in frontier markets like India and Indonesia, I am fortunate to now be at the right place with the right people at exactly the right time. I believe that our time has come to make history and honor the promise that we made to Juan Rocamora on his big ambition for ASEAN. I just can’t wait to get started,” said Jaypal.
Prior to re-joining Euro RSCG, Ng was executive creative director for DDB Shanghai. His work has been awarded at major international award shows and he has judged at Cannes, D&AD, Clios, London International Awards, Spikes Asia, Adfest and Singapore Creative Circle Awards. In this role, which is also based in Singapore, Ng will be tasked with overseeing and shaping Euro RSCG’s creative direction across Southeast Asia.
“What I love about this business is that it’s all about creativity, collaboration and competition. The opportunity to build on the foundation that Matt and myself have helped laid down—in partnership with new architect Renuka—is certainly an exciting and enticing one. I appreciate the extraordinary faith the Havas group has placed in me; in that spirit I want to draw on our history of success and create the future of Euro RSCG Southeast Asia," said Ng.
"Renuka and Victor are an extraordinary team, with a wealth of multi country experience, that bring a great deal of drive and passion to lead EuroRSCG to new heights. I am delighted to be able to work with them in this exciting new stage," says Juan Rocamora, chairman of Euro RSCG Asia-Pacific.
"Renuka is a great talent and we are very excited to have her on board. She is the right person to lead the integrated operations of EuroRSCG across South East Asia and help us capitalize on the very clear growth opportunities. Vic is fantastic and worked closely with me before, helping us achieve business growth and Agency of the Year in 2009. They are a formidable pair and I am very happy to have such capable leaders in Southeast Asia," commented Matthew Fanshawe, managing director of Euro RSCG Asia-Pacific.
The appointments are effective on March 1, 2012.
