Patrick Ryan named global business development director at PHD Worldwide
Omnicom’s PHD Worldwide has appointed Patrick Ryan to the role of worldwide business development director, making him responsible for the function for the network’s 81 global offices.
Joining the agency next week, 11 December, from Universal McCann, Ryan will provide strategic leadership to the network, working closely with the global and regional leaders to develop new business strategy and identify client opportunities.
Working under worldwide CEO, Mike Cooper, he will also lead pitches and oversee the markets’ new business activity as well as advising on best practice.
Cooper said of the hire: “Patrick’s track record as one of the top talents in international account handling means he has a true 360 degree perspective of all commercial, strategic and buying areas. That, coupled with his excellent performance in getting new business results, makes him a unique find and we are delighted to have him join the team at PHD to help us build on the strong foundations we’ve put in place over the past few years with global wins like Unilever, GSK and Bentley.”
At Universal McCann, Ryan led new business and business development for EMEA and the ‘G14’ network.
Ryan said he was “excited about the move to PHD” and is looking forward to driving success on a global, regional and local basis.
