He joins UM from Starcom MediaVest Group, where he has spent the past five years leading the global communications strategy for Samsung Electronics across more than 90 markets, in the role of global director, human experience strategy SVP.

He has more than 17 years of business planning, advertising and marketing experience, which has seen him work in Asia, Europe and North America.

Bowling said he will draw on this international experience in his new role, because the industry increasingly demands a global perspective to influence local communications.
