WPP’s global realignment of its media operations, WPP Media South Asia has announced a revamped leadership framework to align with its vision for deeper integration and AI-led transformation. The agency, transitioning from GroupM, will now operate with a newly formed Executive Committee (ExCo) and a WPP Media Leadership Council (WLC).
The ExCo features Presidents – Priti Murthy, Ajay Gupte, Amin Lakhani, and Navin Khemka – who will lead client solutions across the region. Key appointments also include Vishandas Hardasani as CFO, Vishal Jacob as President of Choreograph, Ashwin Padmanabhan as COO, and Praseed Prasad as President of Growth & Marketing.
The WLC comprises senior leaders like Ajay Mehta, Atique Kazi, Ruchi Mathur, Shekhar Banerjee, Snehi Jha, Vinit Karnik, and others, who will work alongside the ExCo to drive capability development and delivery excellence.
A Chief People Officer will also be onboarded soon, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to a people-first culture. This leadership evolution marks a crucial step in delivering integrated, tech-enabled media solutions across South Asia.
