‘The gauntlet has been thrown down’: New Droga5 Australia CEO talks future of business
Following the news that he will step into the role of Droga5 Australia and New Zealand CEO, we sat down with Matt Michael to talk all about the move and plans for the business.
On Monday, Accenture Song confirmed that Michael will take on the position from 1 December, and Bronwyn van der Merwe as Accenture Song lead for Australia and New Zealand, starting this week.
Appearing on a new episode of the Mumbrellacast, Michael – who is the current managing director of The Monkeys – said the conversations began following news that Mark Green would head to New York as the new global CEO of Droga5.
“I guess over the last month or so we’ve been having conversations about how we move forward with the gap that is left and who fills the very large shoes that he leaves,” Michael said.
