David Angell replaces Wendy Gower as MD of UM Melbourne
Wendy Gower, the MD of UM Melbourne is relocating to Sydney, prompting current general manager David Angell to replace her.
It is unclear whether Gower will be staying at the agency.
Angell joined UM Melbourne as general manager a few months ago after running the Myer business at Ikon.
Gower has been MD of UM Melbourne for a year after relocating from Sydney.
“David is an enormously talented guy and I am really excited that he is taking on the Melbourne MD role,” said Mat Baxter, national CEO of UM. “David has only been with us for a short time but he has already made a significant contribution to our business and his impact will be even greater now as Managing Director.”
Congrats David

We knew early days you were destined for such a role, well done Dave, you’re a star!
