BBH promotes Paul Ward to regional operations director for Asia

Having been at BBH since 1996, where he started in the group’s production department, Ward rose through the ranks to become head of production and head of UK operations.

In November 2008, he relocated to Mumbai to help open the network’s Mumbai office with its three founding partners, Subhash Kamath, Partha Sinha and Priti Nair.

Ward is now charged with optimising the operational infrastructure of BBH in this region which includes offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Mumbai.

Based in Singapore, he will also be looking for opportunities for how the region can best support the rest of BBH’s network worldwide.

Charles Wigley, chairman of BBH Asia, said: “Paul is an organisational dynamo. We’re already a tight group in Asia but Paul has the skills and the ideas to help us really innovate in terms of how we develop, produce and deploy our work across the region.”

BBH was recently named Creative Agency of the Year at Media’s 2009 Agency of the Year Awards.
