Egan, who has nearly 30 years’ experience working with AstraZeneca, Weight Watchers and Electronic Arts, will lead the London-based team to deliver ‘innovative’ communications that equip patients and healthcare professionals with the tools they need to improve healthcare systems.
She said: “This is an opportunity that really excites me and gives me the chance to connect patients, professionals and brands with information, services and tools that drive new relationships and better outcomes.
“Havas is all about bringing ‘change’ in healthcare and the London office has a major role to play in delivering campaigns to our worldwide client base that reiterative this message.”
