Clems Sydney CEO Pete Bosilkovski Departs
CEO of Clemenger BBDO Sydney Pete Bosilkovski has announced his resignation from the agency after two years at the helm.
Bosilkovski has decided to take a break from his advertising career and to spend more time with his family as he seeks to explore new opportunities.
Prior to his appointment to Clems, Bosilkovski was CEO of YMLY&R and CEO of Leo Burnett in Sydney.
Robert Morgan, chairman and CEO, Clemenger Group said of his departure: “We are obviously disappointed that Pete will step down from this role, but we wish him well in the next phase of his career and thank him for his contribution to the agency.
“He has curated an energetic, talented and fearless team at Clemenger BBDO Sydney, who have pushed the boat on all fronts and created some ground-breaking and innovative work together in the past two years. He is leaving the agency in a strong position to continue to thrive.
“We have a terrific leadership team at Clemenger BBDO Sydney – Darren Wright, Brendan Willenberg, Jade Clark, Claire Bissett, Lilian Sor, Graham Sweet, Lewis Steele and Adrian Ciabotti – who will continue to lead the agency forward.”
Bosilkovski commented: “Leading a company throughout the pandemic has been extremely rewarding and challenging in my career as a leader. I have learnt a lot about myself as a professional, a husband and as a dad. This period has certainly made me reflect on all aspects of my life, and I will take some time out to explore a different path and opportunity.
“I want to thank Robert Morgan, the Clemenger BBDO Sydney management team, and everyone across the agency for their exceptional creative work and support. I would also like to thank our client partners who have supported me on this amazing journey.
“We’ve injected an incredible sense of energy into the company – an energy for thinking differently, and an energy to grow and win new business. This is the direct result of the talent we’ve nurtured, who all share a strong passion for innovative creativity.”
