Mumbai: S4Capital’s Monks has appointed Bharti Agrawal as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), APAC – Marketing Services, strengthening its regional leadership team as the company continues to expand its presence across Asia-Pacific.
Based in Singapore, Agrawal will report to Jordi Covas, Global CFO, Marketing Services, and will be responsible for overseeing financial strategy, governance and operational management for the region. In her new role, she will work closely with regional leadership to support sustainable growth, enhance operational efficiency and drive transformation as Monks scales its integrated Marketing and Technology Services capabilities across APAC.
Welcoming the appointment, Covas said the company is pleased to have Agrawal join at a crucial phase of its regional expansion. He noted that her experience in managing multi-market finance operations and leading organisational transformation would play a key role in strengthening Monks’ momentum and leadership in Asia-Pacific.
Prior to joining Monks, Agrawal served as Southeast Asia CFO at Dentsu International, where she led a finance team of seven across six markets and oversaw approximately 200 indirect reports. In that role, she was responsible for financial reporting, forecasting, growth initiatives and driving transformation across a complex, matrixed organisation.
Earlier in her career, she held senior positions in Transaction Services and M&A at KPMG in both Brazil and the United Kingdom. During that time, she advised corporate and private equity clients on buy-side and sell-side transactions, cross-border deals and capital market engagements across sectors including telecommunications, media, food and beverage, hospitality and energy.
Commenting on the appointment, Kenny Griffiths, Executive Vice President at Monks APAC, said Agrawal’s addition to the leadership team comes at a time when Asia-Pacific is playing an increasingly significant role in the company’s global growth strategy. He added that her experience navigating complex regional environments and her collaborative approach will support Monks’ efforts to scale operations, deepen client partnerships and build a more agile organisation across the region.
