Currey succeeds the position’s previous incumbent, Stacey Thorpe.
The move marks a reunion of sorts with Visa for Currey, who previously headed the account for BBDO Asia-Pacific, based in Singapore.
In addition, Currey worked on Visa during his eight-year tenure with Australian agency Clemenger BBDO.
“I know the brand and communications very well, if not the business - but that’s something I will learn,” explained Currey.
Currey joined M&C Saatchi in late 2006, before being pitched into the Optus account review in early 2007.
