Kate O’Ryan-Roeder
Havas Media ANZ has appointed former Mindshare ANZ managing director Kate O’Ryan-Roeder as its new chief executive officer.
O’Ryan-Roeder steps into the role following the exit of former Havas Media ANZ lead Virginia Hyland in July and the elevation of Creative CEO James Wright to the network-wide leadership.
She joins the agency after a decade at Mindshare ANZ, where she served as chief client officer, and most recently as managing director for its Sydney base.
According to a Havas announcement, O’Ryan-Roeder led a team of nearly 150, oversaw a bespoke agency for LVMH, and helped secure a roster of new clients, including MG.
