Wavemaker expands Global Growth team

Wavemaker has been managing a record +$4 billion new business pipeline since the start of the year. Now nearly at the halfway point, the pipeline is already converting well ahead of industry norms, and to date delivered over $780M in net new and retained business. Major wins include Adobe global, Reckitt India, KIA Motors China, Back Market and the Huawei China and Tiffany & Co US retentions. COMvergence has confirmed Wavemaker as the most successful network for Q1 2023.

Driven by unapparelled demand Wavemaker, today announced a significant expansion of its Global Growth team, with increased commitment and investment in new business across its Worldwide and Americas teams. Led by Hamish Davies, Global Chief Growth & Marketing Officer, the Global Growth team has recruited new leaders both globally and regionally in the Americas.

Natalie Yorke has joined as Global Growth Partner based in London, from HH Global and brings significant insight from her experience at IPG and running her own business.

For the Americas, Lynne Reilly has joined as Chief Growth Officer leading all growth initiatives across North America. Prior to Wavemaker, Reilly was at UM where she led teams to unprecedented expansion over the course of her nine-year career. Additionally, Natalia Lopez, who has transferred from GroupM Latin America, joins as new Head of Growth for Latin America.

These recent additions to the team join Sebastian Boeltner, Global Growth Partner, EMEA, and Charlotte Wright, Chief Growth Officer, APAC.

These three important enhancements to our Global Growth Community will help ensure continued conversion success for our record pitch pipeline, and really turbocharge our growth ambitions across the Americas.”
