“As practice leaders in this region, Ogilvy East Africa is proud to host Mike Walsh as we endeavour to midwife the delivery of cutting edge new generation integrated marketing communications solutions. Given the vibrancy and sophistication of the local market, Walsh's practical wealth of experience will come in handy in shaping local aspirations and further raising local standards of service delivery,” said Koome Mwambia, Ogilvy East Africa Group CEO.

Walsh is a career advertising professional and one of Ogilvy's foremost global ambassadors having joined O&M in l983 after 11 years at Young & Rubicam, where he worked on a number of the agency's major clients. A year into his retirement in 2005, Walsh in an interview with a leading advertising magazine confirmed that he had embarked on a global mentorship program in retirement alongside his social involvements with the Red Cross and the UK's Disaster Emergency Committee.
