Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Advertising agency Ogilvy Namibia has announced Megan Pritchard as the company\u2019s new chief executive officer.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pritchard, who celebrates her 10-year anniversary with the advertising and marketing agency on 1 October, was appointed as a shareholder in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has played a pivotal role as operations director for the past five years, contributing to the agency\u2019s operational success and strategic growth,\u201d reads a statement from the company released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

As chief executive, Pritchard will now focus on long-term strategies, financial stewardship, and driving the operational vision of the business.<\/p>\n

Rozanne van der Merwe, who succeeded Anny Mouton, founder of the agency, as managing director in 2017, will continue in her role.<\/p>\n

\u201cMegan has been instrumental in shaping the operational backbone of this agency,\u201d says Van der Merwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer leadership and insight have already contributed so much to Ogilvy Namibia\u2019s success, and I\u2019m excited to see how she will drive our future vision,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The leadership transition comes one week after the successful launch of the Ogilvy Academy, an initiative aimed at shaping the future of creative talent in Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured to step into the chief executive role and excited to work closely with Rozanne and our entire team to drive innovation and meaningful results for our clients,\u201d says Pritchard.<\/p>\n
