Dentsu Asia Pacific CEO Rohit Ohri resigns

MUMBAI: Dentsu India CEO Rohit Ohri has put in his papers at the agency.

After 21 years at JWT, Ohri joined Dentsu in 2011 as executive chairman.

Ohri is speculated to join FCB Ulka. 

In an official statement Dentsu said, “Rohit Ohri CEO Dentsu Asia Pacific (ex Japan) has resigned after four years at the company. He has made a great contribution and we thank him for that. New leadership of Dentsu brands in Asia Pacific will be announced in due course.”
