Profero names Ng MD as Wood leaves

SINGAPORE - Profero managing director Greg Wood is returning home to New Zealand in mid-September, with head of media John Ng promoted to take his place.

Ng, a former e-marketer for DBS, joined the agency earlier this year (Media, 4 April). Prior to DBS he spent time at Tribal DDB, Publicis and AdXplorer.

Wood was promoted to the MD role last year, after a year as creative director. He leaves for family reasons, after spending seven years in Singapore. “I’ve had a thrilling time at Profero, and have delighted in watching its reputation grow. I will definitely miss the pace, the variety and the team,” said Wood.

“It’s vital to keep the culture of a successful agency alive and strong. That means promoting from within wherever possible, and John has brought so much to the culture of Profero that he was a natural choice.”
Ng officially takes over on 12 September.
