“We are fortunate to have tapped Keith for this important role, which is a crucial building block for dentsu’s integrated go-to-market strategy,” said Gissler. “His solid knowledge of global skillsets, coupled with a deep experience in offshoring the global delivery of CXM capabilities, will propel our growth in that direction and lead us to a level of operational efficiency that will be hard to outmatch.”

“My decision to join dentsu International was an easy one,” noted Lippiatt. “Not only do I have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of such an innovative and growing company, I am also energized by the unique culture of collaboration, trust, and achievement, both within the CXM LoB and throughout dentsu. It came through in my initial conversations with the executive leaders; and from my first few weeks on board, I can tell that passion is the real thing – even without the benefit of in-person meetings. I am excited to get to work with this smart and motivated group of people throughout the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, as we grow and scale the CXM line of business for dentsu.”
