Australia – Advertising agency Howatson+Company has appointed Hoang Nguyen, former director of digital and engineering at digital firm Appscore, to be its new chief data and technology officer.
Aside from his stint at Appscore, Nguyen has also held the role of executive director of engineering at full-service advertising company CHE Proximity, and the technical director at strategic design consultancy Deepend. He has also led teams and designed architectures for several blue-chip enterprises such as NAB and ANZ, Samsung, and Telstra, among others.
