JC Giri (pictured), executive vice president and general manager, STAR TV in India, is moving on. He is returning to the Ogilvy fold and is joining as regional director for the Unilever business for Ogilvy & Mather - Asia Pacific, effective October 14. In his new role, he will be based out of Singapore and will be reporting to Sophie Hoffstetter, regional president - Client growth, Ogilvy & Mather.
Giri was earlier president and 360 Head of Office, Ogilvy Mumbai, where he worked for 13 years before taking on the STAR mandate.
Confirming the development, Giri told Campaign India, “The last one year at STAR has been a wonderful experience with both my channels STAR Jolsha and STAR Pravah doing well. I took up the Ogilvy role as it offered me the opportunity to work across Asia on Unilever brands. Asia is the growth engine for the world at the moment and India and China are key components of this growth story. I look forward to this challenge.”
