About me

Andrew is responsible for managing VMLY&R across Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), where he oversees 24 Offices and over 3000 employees across the region.

In his current role, he is responsible for setting the strategy, vision for growth, M&A, as well as setting the client growth agenda for the region. In his first year as CEO of the new agency, he was shortlisted for CEO of the Year by Campaign magazine.

Prior to his current role, he led Y&R Europe for three years — which included being awarded Regional Cannes Creative Network of the Year (2017), Effectiveness Network of the year (2016).

Before leading Y&R Andrew led WPP's Red Fuse unit across Europe. And prior to leading Red Fuse, Andrew was the global managing director on the Hill's Pet Nutrition account, which was handled by VML in Kansas, Y&R Prague and VML Tokyo.

Andrew is a true globalist and a thoughtful integrated marketer, no doubt because he is a creative and entrepreneurial thinker. He has shown his passion and commitment - for the business, for our clients and the agency - since his early days in new business.

He has worked at Y&R and WPP for 20 years on four continents, cutting his teeth in New Business Development at Y&R New York, then shifting to account management on clients like Xerox and Merck. He also served as Client Services Director in Latin America, where he worked on a broad range of categories.
