Head of HR
Dentsu International UK and Ireland.
April 2020 - April 2021
I returned to Dentsu for a second period in April 2020 to cover an interim role as Head of HR for the
Media Service Line, partnering with the new Executive Director, to create an Organisational Design to accommodate Dentsu's Accelerated Media Transformation. This Transformation focussed on
nearshoring and offshoring specific capabilities, the integration of brands within the Service Line
together with the integration of the businesses in the North and South which had previously operated as two separate legal entities with separate Leaderships.
This was a complex, fast-paced project with multiple touch points in a highly matrixed organisation
requiring a close working relationship with PMOs and EY consultants. The result being a streamlined and empowered Leadership and improved efficiency (and profit) resulting from the new operating
model.
In parallel, the Business was also embedding its new HR Operating Model, which was radical versus
existing state. I actively worked with the wider HR team to launch this model and manage the change with the Business.
