Cheil UK COO Matt Pye to depart
Cheil UK has announced the impending departure of chief operating officer, Matt Pye after five years.
Paul Hammersley, group chief executive of Cheil UK, said: “Matt has played an huge part in helping transform Cheil to the agency it is today and I’d like to thank him for that. While we’ll miss him, we look forward to carrying on his good work.”
Pye said: “I’ve had a wonderful time and, hopefully, I’ve left the agency in a far better position that when I arrived. It’s time for the next chapter and, with Paul at the helm, I’m certain the future is bright. I’m off for a little lie down followed by a fresh challenge.”
Cheil said that Pye, who joined as managing director in 2011, would take 'a short break' before seeking a new challenge.
He was promoted to chief operating officer in 2013.
