Singapore – Global marketing network Stagwell has appointed Connie Chan its new chief growth officer for Asia-Pacific (APAC). The appointment is effective in July 2025.
In her new role, Chan is set to lead Stagwell’s growth strategy and operations across APAC. She will focus on leading its transformation, enhancing capabilities, and forging deeper connections within local markets in the region.
Chan brings decades of expertise in media, marketing, and strategic communications to the company. Before her appointment, Chan served as the chief executive officer of OMD China, driving growth and creativity. She has also held leadership roles at WPP and MEC, now Wavemaker.
She will report directly to Ryan Linder, executive vice president, global chief marketing officer at Stagwell.
“As the global marketing landscape continues to shift, Asia Pacific stands out as a region of extraordinary opportunity. Connie’s leadership will be instrumental as we build a network that not only responds to the complexity of today but sets the pace for what’s next,” Linder said.
Randy Duax, managing director, Asia Pacific at Stagwell, commented, “Connie doesn’t just drive growth. She builds momentum that breaks the sound barrier. We’ve spent the last three years building the kind of platform the holding companies said couldn’t be done—media, creative, strategy and PR moving as one, built for speed, wired for scale. Connie isn’t here to learn the playbook. She’s here to call the next play.”
“I’ve always believed in the power of strategic clarity and bold ideas. At Stagwell, we have the talent, the ambition, and the platform to build work that matters – and impact that endures,” Chan said.
