Tim Green steps down as ECD of Havas; Stuart Turner + Seamus Higgins appointed joint-ECDs

Havas Worldwide Australia has today announced that Tim Green will be stepping down from the role of ECD, a role he took up in December of 2014. His role will be replaced by joint ECD’s, Stuart Turner (below left) and Seamus Higgins (below right) who have been promoted to the roles.

Says Green: “Whilst the timing and opportunity to move back to Australia for the role with Havas Worldwide were right for me at the time, I’m now going back to an international role.

“I spoke to Ant and told him how I felt and the timing is right to make this move, so this is something we are aligned on.  We also discussed my replacement and I’m delighted that the agency has chosen to promote from within. Stu and Seamus deserve the opportunity and are very talented.”

Says Anthony Gregorio, group CEO Havas Worldwide Australia: “It’s sad that Tim is leaving and we wish him all the best.  Tim came in and helped bed in DFR as well as put us back on the path to delivering quality creative and awards. Last year under his stewardship we picked up ten awards and 15 finalists locally and internationally also winning the Lastminute.com business. Thankfully we’re lucky that we have some amazingly talented people in the wings and Stu and Seamus will step up and do a great job.”
