T Gangadhar (Gangs) joins Mumbai-based Quotient Ventures, which houses Tilt Brand Solutions, Vector Brand Solutions and StudioQ, as its group CEO.
He moves from GroupM/WPP where he last served as Asia Pacific CEO, Essence. Prior to WPP, he has worked with Sony Pictures Networks, Lowe Lintas and DDB Mudra.
At Quotient, he will lead the group with Co-founders Shriram Iyer (CCO) and Rajiv Chatterjee (CBO).
Joseph George, Founder and Group Chairman & CEO, Quotient Ventures, said, “I have always admired leaders in companies getting in talent better than oneself; I think I have done so too with the appointment of Gangs. His experiences and competencies across organisational leadership (India & APAC), P&L management, advertising (strategic planning and account management), marketing, media, content, digital and data are just what the group requires hereon in its growth ambitions across Tilt Brand Solutions, Vector Brand Solutions and StudioQ.”
Gangadhar said, “I have tremendous admiration and respect for what Joseph (George), Shriram and Rajiv have built in such a short period of time. Rarely does one get the opportunity to lead an organisation that has so much going for it, yet is hungry to do better. I am excited about the prospect of deploying the ‘Full-Brained-Thinking’ philosophy, and further consolidating the group’s position as a premier destination for brands and businesses owners”.
George added, “In spite of the Covid disruption hitting us just 18 months after our launch, we have had a terrific run these past 4.5 years. And so, we are in an exciting position where there is enough to be built upon, but also a lot to be built anew. And between Gangs, Shriram and Rajiv, we have just the right leadership team with the right interests, the right experience, the right attitude and the right competencies to lead us on this journey ahead.”
