Singapore – BBH has promoted Paul Ward to the role of Regional Operations Director for Asia. Paul will be responsible for optimising the operational infrastructure of BBH in Asia which includes offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Mumbai. Based in Singapore, Paul will also be looking for opportunities for how the region can best support the rest of the BBH network.
Paul has been at BBH since 1996 where he started in the Production department. Since that time, Paul has steadily assumed increased responsibilities through roles such as Head of Production and Head of UK Operations.
In November 2008, Paul relocated to Mumbai to help open BBH’s Mumbai office with the three founding partners, Subhash Kamath, Partha Sinha and Priti Nair. The office has had a successful first year winning new business from local clients such as Rediff and Marico as well as converting existing BBH global relationships, such as World Gold Council and Vaseline.
Charles Wigley, Chairman, BBH Asia, said, “Paul is an organizational dynamo. We’re already a tight group in Asia but Paul has the skills and the ideas to help us really innovate in terms of how we develop, produce and deploy our work across the region.”
Gwyn Jones, Chief Operating Officer, BBH Group, said, “Paul’s contribution to Mumbai’s opening was immense and his promotion thoroughly deserved. He has a great understanding of how agencies work and can make a big impact in the region and beyond.”
