Former PPR CEO Michael Pooley becomes Westpac’s head of corporate affairs

Michael Pooley is Westpac’s new head of corporate affairs for its consumer division.

Pooley was previously with WPP AUNZ’s PPR agency for over a decade, and became CEO in 2017. He announced his departure in September last year to launch a communications consulting firm, Map Collective, just days before WPP AUNZ revealed PPR would be dissolved into BCW.

Pooley started his new role this month

Now, Map Collective appears to be on the back burner, as Pooley focuses on his Westpac role.
