Havas India has elevated Jaibeer Ahmad, formerly Managing Partner – North at Havas Worldwide India to the role of Chief Transformation & Growth Officer.

Barua said, “The last 5 years have been a period of exponential growth for Havas India, having grown steadily from 3 to 18 agencies, both organically and inorganically delivering nine differentiated services to our clients. While this momentum will continue, and we will be adding a few more expertise, it is now critical that we consolidate and leverage the strength of our offering to enlarge the services and accelerate business growth.

The beauty and the strength of this model is that all these expertise are under one roof. This experience crystallized the vital need for an integrated ecosystem like our Havas Village, navigating today's complex marketing landscape. In this new role, my mission is clear: foster convergence and collaboration among our 18 agencies and the growing ecosystem, and craft customised, integrated solutions for our clients.”

With over 23 years of experience in advertising and marketing brand-building, Ahmad has held leadership positions for the past 12 years.
