Havas shakes up APAC reporting lines, as CEO and chairman Mike Amour becomes latest to exit

Havas in Singapore will see yet another high-level departure, with the Asia-Pacific CEO and chairman Mike Amour leaving the agency network just weeks after the South East Asia chief creative officer Valerie Madon left and the North Asia chairman and chief executive, Levent Guenes, departed for Netflix.

Madon left at the time of the E-Pay ‘brownface’ campaign controversy in July, but both Havas and Madon insisted her departure was not linked to the debacle. The aftermath of the campaign saw government ministers in Singapore forced to make public statements on the ills of racism, in order to calm sentiment among citizens.

Amour will leave in October
