Maxus chief client officer Neil Stewart moving to Facebook as regional agency head

Neil Stewart, the Singapore-based global chief client officer of GroupM media agency Maxus, is leaving the agency to join Facebook.

The Australian’s new role for the world’s largest social network is head of agency for Asia Pacific. He will continue to be based in Singapore.

Stewart moved into a global role running the network’s biggest clients in January after five years as APAC CEO.

He will be replaced by Ajit Varghese, who moves up from MD of Maxus South Asia to lead the agency regionally.
