Justin Billingsley, Saatchi & Saatchi Greater China CEO, said “This is great news for our team and clients in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. We treated this appointment with the importance it deserves – and Daisy represents the perfect combination of the three critical elements of our search: significant digital capability and experience, proven track record leading P&G growth in China and values-based leadership style. She is a fantastic addition to the Saatchi & Saatchi Greater China team.”
