Specialist healthcare communications agency Havas Just:: has named Nicole Yost (pictured above) its new chief executive officer.
Yost will replace Havas Just:: co-founder Jennie Talman, who has been in the CEO role at the agency for 15 years.
While Yost will take the helm at Havas Just::, Talman will act as executive advisor to the agency and will remain involved in client business.
Yost has held leadership roles at Burson Cohn & Wolfe (BCW), Porter Novelli and Ogilvy Healthworld.
Most recently, she was responsible for establishing a new division at BCW, which focused on business transformation in the health sector.
“Havas Just:: has a strong reputation and a distinct personality. I am excited to be part of its future and am also looking forward to getting to know the team as well as my global colleagues in the Havas Health & You network,” commented Yost.
“Right now there is an opportunity to transform the relationship that pharma has with the public. My ambition is for Havas Just:: to play a critical role in helping our clients to shape the post-pandemic conversation around the provision and value of healthcare,” she added.
