“The opportunity to work at DDB with Sheryl and the leadership team and on the premier Westpac account was an opportunity too good to pass up,” Boueyres said.
“I’m excited to move back into agencies, where my true passion lies. My career across Europe and Australia has been dedicated to leading change for iconic brands and I can’t wait to bring that experience to DDB and Westpac.”
Sheryl Marjoram, DDB Sydney’s CEO, said she’s thrilled to have Boueyres joining the team.
“She is laser focused on effectiveness, restless in her ambition, deeply passionate about creativity, and fun to be around,” she said.
“Her experience both client side and ours makes her a real asset. Her impact is already being felt and I can’t wait for what’s next.”
Boueyres’ appointment is effective immediately.
