MEDIACOM has announced changes to the leadership of its Malaysian operations with Chanchal Chakrabarti to take over the running of the agency as Neal Estavillo steps down from the managing director role. Chakrabarti is one of MediaCom’s most experienced and respected regional talents, currently leading the P&G assignment across the Asean region. Chakrabarti will maintain his regional responsibilities as an Asia Pacific managing partner, reporting directly to MediaCom Asia Pacific CEO Mark Heap, but will relocate from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and in addition take on the MediaCom Malaysia managing director responsibilities. Neal Estavillo will be leaving the agency after over five years in charge, during which time, he’s contributed significantly to building MediaCom into one of the country’s most successful agencies. During Estavillo’s tenure, MediaCom had a number of notable regional and local pitch wins including P&G, Fonterra, Sony Mobile, Coca-Cola, Sunway Group and Celcom.
