Singapore: WPP Media has announced the elevation of Sindhuja Rai as Chief Client Officer for the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (APMEA) region. In her expanded leadership role, Rai will be responsible for strengthening client relationships across these diverse and dynamic markets.
Confirming the development on LinkedIn, Rai shared, “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief Client Officer APMEA at WPP Media!”
This move marks another milestone in Rai’s impressive career with the global media powerhouse. In October 2024, she had already taken on the additional responsibility of leading GroupM’s client leadership communities in the region. Working closely with regional CEOs, Rai played a pivotal role in unifying client service strategies and implementing best practices across all markets.
Rai was appointed CEO of Wavemaker Asia Pacific in June 2023, where she reported directly to Global CEO Toby Jenner and was based out of Singapore. Her leadership has since been instrumental in driving integrated client solutions, accelerating digital transformation, and delivering consistent business outcomes.
Before joining Wavemaker, Rai spent over 12 years at Mondelēz International. As the Senior Director of Global Media Investment & AMEA Consumer Experience, she spearheaded initiatives that significantly enhanced media ROI through creative excellence, innovative brand activation, and a strong consumer-first philosophy.
Beyond her corporate achievements, Rai is a vocal advocate for inclusivity and equity in the workplace. She actively mentors emerging talent and champions diversity as a core value in business and leadership.
