Vizeum Australia promotes Stephen Deane to the position of national managing director

Vizeum Australia has today announced the appointment of Stephen Deane (left) to the role of national managing director, following the resignation of Travis Day. Deane has led the Sydney business as general manager since late 2016.

Reporting into Simon Ryan, CEO Dentsu Aegis Network ANZ, Deane will transition into his new role effective immediately until Travis leaves the business, mid-July.

Additionally, Danielle Gowling (above right) – a founding member of Vizeum – has been promoted to general manager of the Melbourne business, effective immediately.

Says Ryan: “As an existing and respected leader within the business, Stephen is the natural choice for this role. I look forward to seeing how Vizeum continues to evolve and thrive under Stephen’s direction, delivering exceptional results that accelerate business growth for our clients.

“Travis led Vizeum Australia for a significant period, and has been instrumental to its growth during that time. We thank Travis for his commitment to the business and wish him all the best.”

Says Deane: “I’m thrilled to be taking my next step within Dentsu Aegis Network, and couldn’t be more honoured to be doing so at Vizeum. I’m proud to lead a team which dares to think differently, brings a fresh perspective to any situation, and continues to push boundaries to deliver the very best business outcomes for our clients.”

Day has been with Dentsu Aegis Network for eight years. In 2012 he launched Vizeum Melbourne as general manager, before being promoted to national managing director of Vizeum Australia in October 2015.
