Dentsu Media CEO Sue Squillace announces her departure from the business

Dentsu Media CEO Sue Squillace will be leaving the business after three years.

Squillace will stay on with the media company until the middle of this month, with the company's search for its new CEO underway.

The outgoing CEO said of her departure: "I've had a brilliant few years at Dentsu and am incredibly proud of the work we’ve done to help our clients grow their business in new and meaningful ways.

"This has been made possible by having a smart and dedicated team, who it has been a privilege to work alongside. I look forward to continuing to see the business thrive on its next phase of growth," she added.

Meanwhile, Angela Tangas, CEO of Dentsu ANZ, praised Squillace for her work over the past years.

Tangas, who will soon step into the role of CEO of Dentsu UK and Ireland, said: “After three years with Dentsu, Sue Squillace has made the decision to leave the network.

"Sue joined us at a critical point and has played a key role in the turnaround of our business. The outcomes have been year-on-year growth, industry-leading client solutions aided by our fantastic partner relationships, and the formation of a strong, integrated team.

"I want to thank Sue for her valuable contribution to Dentsu and wish her all the best for her next move," Tangas added.

Squillace was appointed chief executive officer Australia and New Zealand in September 2018. She was then appointed to as Dentsu Media CEO ANZ in April 2020.

Prior to that, she served as the CEO of Spark Foundry from 2017 to 2019.

With the search underway, the iProspect business will continue to be managed by Ollie Rapson, and the Carat business will be managed locally by the Carat senior leadership team.

Both brands will also have the support of dentsu’s executive leadership team.
