Manila – Dentsu Aegis Network has began its search for a new president to oversee Dentsu Philippines following the retirement of Nonna Nanagas.
“Even though I still enjoy every moment of this work, it is time to take a step back and let a new generation take over. Waving off is always a little sad, but Dentsu Philippines is in better shape than ever. We have a great team in place and the future for this agency is looking bright, which gives me a great sense of satisfaction and makes leaving somewhat easier for me,” she said
Nanagas, which has been with the Dentsu since its inception in 2001, (pictured) will exit her role on April 30 and will be succeeded by Titus Arce, general manager at Dentsu Philippines, on an interim basis.
She has a storied career spanning 30 years, with the other half leading the now defunct agency Image Dimensions from 1989 to 2001.
“Dentsu Philippines has been one of our runaway brands under her leadership, and will continue to be so. I have great confidence in the team in place now, and I am looking forward to announce the appointment of a new leader for Dentsu Philippines in the foreseeable future”, said Miguel Ramos, CEO for Dentsu Aegis Network Philippines.
“While her retirement had come as a sad and difficult decision for me, I’m confident that she has set the stage for a successful business continuity through her team of Titus Arce, Gary Amante, Rey Tiempo and Jam De Guzman to see us through this transition,” added Dick van Motman, Chairman and CEO for Dentsu Aegis Network Southeast Asia.
