Beh said she is still "weighing up her options" as to her future plans. Her departure comes amid speculation that DraftFCB may be aligned more closely with sister agency Interface under the new DraftFCB banner. Interface MD T. Renganathan is expected to take sole charge of the eventual operation.
DraftFCB suffered a blow in Malaysia earlier this year when it lost the Fonterra business, believed to account for a large portion of its billings in the country. Interface, meanwhile, has grown into a significant contender under Renganathan.
