Previously based in Singapore, Anand will move to Malaysia and take over the position from Andre Nair later this month. Prior to moving to Singapore, Anand was Country Head, Ogilvy & Mather Indonesia.

“We're delighted Anand has accepted this new challenge and we're grateful to Andre for his commitment to strengthening the agency during his two-year tenure. Malaysia is key to our Southeast Asia growth strategy and an agency we'll continue to invest in,” said John Goodman, Regional Director, Ogilvy & Mather ASEAN and President, Ogilvy Action, Asia Pacific.

A long time Ogilvy stalwart, Anand first joined Ogilvy in India where he played an instrumental role in launching Dove in-market. During his 15-year career with the network, Anand has worked across multiple Asian markets on clients portfolios that include: Unilever's Dove and Ponds, Nestlé's MILO and UPS.

Anand will oversee the growth and development of the Malaysian office as well as partner with the agency's key clients which include: Maxis, Nestle, MAS, Shell, IBM, Guinness, BAT, Coke, Goodyear and Pizza Hut. The agency has experienced strong growth year-on-year and more recently won a slew of international accolades including the Gold, Silver and Bronze Cannes Lions and Silver Pencil in the One Show.

Andre Nair will leave the agency after fulfilling his two-year contract at the end of September to return to his consultancy role.
