Says Waterhouse: “I’ve always prided myself in never making enemies and never burning bridges, and it seems to have paid off – a week or so after I was given my Sapient marching orders, I bumped into Andy (DiLallo), , Susannah and their new baby down at Bronte Beach.

“I Invited them for a quick beer (or three) at the surf club, and he asked how life was going. I told him that Sapient had just let me go, to which he responded, “Cool, we could do with a guy like you at Leo’s.

“Burnetts is an amazing place, full of incredible people. It’s a privilege to be here sitting amongst a team who are doing some of the best work in Australia, let alone the world.”

Says DiLallo: “The opportunity to get Skip on board was one we just couldn’t pass up. I look forward to sharing Skip’s talent and leadership with some of Australia’s greatest brands. Although he has just arrived, his impact has been immediate and potent. Serendipity is a beautiful thing.”
