McCann Health has grown its leadership team, appointed Nick Bartlett as its President of North Europe.
The newly-created role is one that will see Bartlett take responsibility for its UK and France-based offerings, as well as overseeing McCann Health’s consulting arm.
L-R: Nick Bartlett, Jonathan Kukathasan and Rob Fuller
Bartlett brings over 20 years’ experience in managing digital operations and consultancies in healthcare service companies, including Syneos Health, Publicis Health and most recently Bionical Group.
“Nick and the new leadership team will allow us to drive integration across the agency and maximize synergies to better respond to the evolving needs of our clients and the rapidly changing world of healthcare,” said John Cahill, Group Chief Executive Officer.
Meanwhile, there have also been some changes in the London office. Jonathan Kukathasan has been promoted to Managing Director from his previous position as General Manager and Rob Fuller joins from Havas Lynx as Head of Planning for McCann Health London.
Kukathasan has been with McCann Health London for 14 years, contributing to its expansion during the last two years.
Fuller has worked in healthcare for over a decade, with client-side experience for brands such as such as Merck, J&J Consumer Health and Reckitt Benckiser in addition to his most recent role at Havas Lynx
McCann says the new hires allows the group to build on its position in the region as a “modern, world-class health communications business”, creating work that makes a meaningful difference to people’s lives.
“I’m delighted to be joining such a progressive leader in the healthcare field. I see huge potential in bringing McCann’s consumer expertise to broaden, engage and deepen our capabilities in the specialist healthcare market and contribute to international growth of this sector,” said Nick Bartlett.
The new hires will help build on the vision of Matt Eastwood, McCann Health’s Chief Creative Officer, who is encouraging a more bold creative offering. Read more about his plan here.
