Kunal Jeswani Named as the CEO of Ogilvy ASEAN

Kunal Jeswani has been elevated to the position of CEO of Ogilvy ASEAN. He served as the group CEO of Ogilvy Singapore and Malaysia before being promoted, and before that, he was the CEO of Ogilvy India.

Ogilvy APAC's emphasis on expansion in this significant subregion includes his elevation. Using the distinct advantages of each market to drive solutions for clients, he will concentrate on integrating resources throughout the ASEAN region in his new position.

Ogilvy APAC's co-CEOs, Chris Reitermann and Kent Wertime, will continue to lead the entire APAC region and collaborate closely with their respective leaders to propel the agency's expansion and prosperity.

Wertime said, "Kunal is the perfect leader for ASEAN because of his success in Malaysia, Singapore, and India as well as his capacity to foster creative excellence. In addition to acknowledging his outstanding contributions, this promotion shows how confident we are in his ability to influence Ogilvy's future in this vibrant area."

"Ogilvy has an exceptionally strong network throughout Southeast Asia," said Jeswani, CEO of Ogilvy ASEAN. "Our entire talent pool is dedicated to producing innovative work that helps our clients grow and make an impact. I can't wait to collaborate with our leaders throughout the region to accomplish the greatest work of our lives."

Ogilvy Singapore and Malaysia have accomplished outstanding business and creative reputation milestones under Jeswani's direction. Last year, the Cannes Lions Creativity Report ranked Ogilvy Singapore as the leading creative agency in Asia. Last month, Ogilvy Singapore also took home the 2025 Singapore Creative Circle Awards' Creative Agency of the Year title. The office's standing as a creative powerhouse in Singapore and throughout Asia has been strengthened by these victories.
