Dheeraj Sinha, CEO and chief strategy officer – South Asia, Leo Burnett, said, “At Leo Burnett India, strategy has always been core to building success for client’s businesses. This is also a testimony to the success of our Leo Burnett Consult offering which has already completed several projects within a year of its launch. Our new age thinking and growth trajectory has always attracted top talent from the industry. Mittu and Bonnie both come with valuable knowledge and experience having worked across diverse sectors and some of the best-in-class brands. Their addition to the planning team will only help us sharpen our thinking and output on our businesses.
