IPA appoints Tom Lewis as new finance director
The IPA has appointed Tom Lewis as its new finance director, replacing Alex Hunter who retires after seven years in the role.
Lewis, who most recently worked as group finance director at crisis communications firm Regester Larkin, will be responsible for the financial stewardship of the IPA and building and maintaining relationships across key external parties and agencies.
Paul Bainsfair, IPA director general, said: “As Alex Hunter has demonstrated and excelled at over the past seven years, the role of IPA finance director has a far wider-reaching remit than just looking after the internal finances of the IPA; they have to be involved with adland, and our members, in the broadest sense.
“We are therefore delighted to have found Tom, who has such a comprehensive understanding of both the world of finance and of the ad industry, and who will be able to hit the ground running.”
Lewis will formally join the IPA on 17 March.
