dentsu has named Prerna Singh Mehrotra as its new Chief Client Officer, APAC, and CEO, Singapore, succeeding Prakash Kamdar, who is stepping down after 15 years with the network.
Singh Mehrotra has been with dentsu for around a decade and has served as APAC Chief Client Officer for the past three years, while also holding the position of CEO, Media, APAC. During her tenure, she has worked closely with major clients and teams across several markets in the region, bringing extensive experience in regional client leadership and media.
Kamdar has headed dentsu Singapore for seven years, during which he led efforts to transform the business, bring its capabilities closer together and further develop its leadership structure and operational foundations.
Commenting on the leadership transition, Yuichi Toyoda, CEO, APAC, dentsu, said, “Singapore plays an important role for dentsu as a strong local market and a place where many clients shape their regional priorities. We want to build on that position by bringing the best of dentsu together around the work that matters most for our clients and our people. Prerna brings deep regional experience, a strong client perspective and a genuine understanding of our people, culture and capabilities. Over the last 10 years she has built trusted relationships across our business and with our clients, positioning her well to connect the strengths of our Singapore team with opportunities across the region. We are excited to see her lead the business into its next chapter. I’d like to thank Prakash for his commitment and dedication to our business, our teams and our clients over the past 15 years. The strongest reflection of what Prakash has built is that we can make this transition with clarity about where we are going and confidence in the people who will take us there. He has played an important role in building dentsu’s business in Singapore and Southeast Asia.”
In her expanded remit, Singh Mehrotra will oversee dentsu’s client leadership responsibilities across APAC while taking charge of the Singapore market, building on her existing regional experience and knowledge of the network.
The appointment marks a leadership transition for dentsu Singapore while continuing its focus on strengthening client relationships, integrating capabilities and supporting opportunities across the wider APAC region.
