WPP’s Grey Group has appointed Nirvik Singh Chief Operating Officer, a new global position.

A 30-year veteran of Grey, Singh has served as Chairman and CEO of Grey Group Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa since 2016, a post he will retain. He is based in Singapore.

As COO, Singh will lead the development of Grey's collaborative go-to-market approach (known internally as Grey’s “borderless integrated marketing model”). He’s also tasked with identifying acquisition targets and new capabilities to enhance the agency's offering and building its future-facing digital, social, shopper marketing and design practices.
