Jaibeer Ahmad gets a new role at Havas India

Jaibeer Ahmad, managing partner - North, Havas Worldwide India, has been elevated to the newly created role of chief transformation and growth officer at Havas India.  

 

Ahmad's mandate is to drive business growth through integration and collaboration across all 18 Havas India agencies. He will be based in Gurugram, and report to Rana Barua, group CEO, Havas India, South East Asia and North Asia (Japan & South Korea).

 

Ahmad had joined Havas Worldwide in December 2022 from Cheil. 

 

Barua said, “The last five years have been a period of exponential growth for Havas India, having grown steadily from three 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. Jaibeer has the nuanced understanding of the One Havas ethos, the strategic knowhow to turn opportunities into tangible outcomes, and strong, people-focused leadership, and I am confident that he will make Havas India one of the top growth markets within the Havas ecosystem through integration.”

 

Ahmad said, “At Havas India, I've had the incredible opportunity to collaborate across an array of functions, including, media, CX, experiential, PR, UI/UX, e-commerce, programmatic, brand design, health, and many more. The beauty and the strength of this model is that all these expertise are under one roof. This experience crystallised 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.”
