UM Australia has restructured its Melbourne office, appointing partner Ivo Kavelj as managing director and Alex Smith as general manager.

Mat Baxter, CEO of UM Australia, told Mumbrella: “The jobs are both new positions. We previously had a partnership structure in Melbourne with four partners – Ivo, Alex, David (Hearn) and Kim (Lion).

“We’ve moved now to a structure where we’ll have an MD and GM. Kim is now in a role of head of talent in Melbourne and David remains head of strategy in Melbourne.
