LONDON

- Ogilvy & Mather Group UK has appointed Fiona Gordon to the newly created role of Group Transformation Director. Gordon will relocate from Singapore, where she is currently Group Chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, to London, and begin her new role in January 2016. She will report to Annette King, CEO, Ogilvy & Mather Group UK.

Gordon will be responsible for working with all Ogilvy agencies in the UK to help drive seamless collaboration and integration across the Group. She will also lead on key client business.

Gordon was appointed Group Chairman of Ogilvy & Mather Singapore in 2011. Under her leadership, the agency was named Campaign Asia's Creative Agency of the Year, Marketing Magazine's Agency of the Year and number 1 in R3's new business league ranking. She was also named Campaign Asia's Southeast Asia Agency Head of the Year last year.

Prior to this, she relocated from London (where she was Global Managing Director on BP and GSK) to Hong Kong, to lead the Agency's Global Brand Management team, a role she held for two years. She started at O&M UK as a Graduate Trainee in 1992 and has also worked at O&M New York during her career.

King commented: 'As we relocate to Sea Containers in January next year, Fiona will be instrumental in harnessing the diverse talent and capabilities across the Ogilvy Group to create highly creative and deeply collaborative cross disciplinary teams that meet our clients' needs. Fiona's impressive leadership qualities, strong client relationship skills and in-depth understanding of the Ogilvy network and people, make her the ideal person for this role. We can't wait for her to start.'

Gordon commented: 'I'm delighted to be rejoining the UK team at such an exciting time for the Group. With so much transformation happening in our industry, Ogilvy London is incredibly well placed to help deliver seamless integration and great ideas for our clients. I'm really looking forward to working with Annette and the team as we evolve the business.'
