PETALING JAYA: GO Communications recently announced the appointment of Andreas Vogiatzakis as its non-executive chairman, marking a significant milestone for the 20-year standing, independent agency, while sending a strong signal across Malaysia’s marketing, media and communications landscape.
Widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in the industry both locally and internationally, Go Communications in a statement last month said Vogiatzakis brings with him decades of leadership experience across global media agencies, multinational markets, and most notably, his tenure as Group CEO of Star Media Group, Malaysia’s largest integrated media organisation.
Peter de Kretser, Co-Founder and CEO of GO Communications, said the appointment was both strategic and deeply personal.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Andreas for a long time and have always admired the clarity of his thinking and his influence as a natural leader.
“His experience spans continents and cultures from New York to Tokyo to Kuala Lumpur – sometimes even Havana - and that global perspective is invaluable,” he said.
De Kretser noted that the last few years have seen GO travel on a “meteoric upward trajectory.”
“Vogiatzakis’ influence, guidance and leadership will undoubtedly embellish our journey and elevate what’s possible for GO and the GO Group internationally as we move with our best foot forward,” he said.
