Wavemaker has today announced the appointment of Ruth Stubbs to the role of EMEA CEO.
Stubbs joins from iProspect where she was global president and she will be part of the global leadership team of the WPP agency.
The EMEA region accounts for half of Wavemaker’s revenue, covering 34 countries and 4,000 employees.
Stubbs will be based in the UK and report to Toby Jenner, Wavemaker’s global CEO. She will take up the role in early 2020.
“Ruth’s reputation precedes her. Her track record of building world-class agencies is exceptional, she’s a proven client and business leader, and her knowledge and expertise of precision marketing will be invaluable as we continue to evolve our capabilities across the EMEA region,” said Jenner.
“I’m really looking forward to partnering with her and bringing the breadth and depth of our capabilities to our clients, both current and new.”
Stubbs added: “Joining Wavemaker under the new leadership of Toby is a great opportunity, and I’m relishing the challenge of steering the agency forward into a new era. Wavemaker is one of the world’s biggest media agencies, full of smart, talented people, and I’m looking forward to being part of it.”
Stubbs is joining Wavemaker after nine years at iProspect and has over 25 years’ experience in media and digital marketing, previously holding roles with Havas, GroupM and Mediabrands.
