Havas Canada is appointing Melody Adhami, the agency's current COO as CEO, replacing current CEO Tom Olesinski, who is leaving the organization after a short transition period.

Adhami will oversee the creative business in Canada, reporting to North America Chairman and CEO Paul Marobella.

Adhami was a cofounder of Plastic Mobile, an agency Havas acquired in 2015. 

In tandem with Adhami’s elevation, Havas said Alex Chepovetsky, president and Chief Digital Officer, Havas Canada, will manage the region’s creative and digital experience practices.

He previously served with CGI Group, Sapient Canada and Organic.
