Havas Lynx appoints new leadership team

Havas Lynx has announced a number of new senior leadership appointments as it marks the first anniversary of its takeover by Havas Health.

David Hunt – a recognised international figure within digital health and wellness communications – has been appointed as the agency's new chief executive officer (CEO), with Neil Martin taking over as commercial director.

Steve Nicholas and David Whittingham will complete the core team by taking up managing partner positions, while the firm is also appointing Dr Nick Broughton as medical director and Gary Monk as director of strategy and innovation.

Since becoming part of Havas Health, Lynx has been able to launch a new London office, expand its client base and claim six wins at the most recent PM Society Awards.

Ben Davies, European CEO at Havas Health, said: "It's been a great first twelve months and with the new senior structure, the team will continue to develop a unified offering."

The Havas Health groups consists of Havas Lynx, Health4Brands and Havas Life, formerly known as Euro RSCG Life.
