Y&R Group ANZ CEO, Phil McDonald, said “Sasha is a highly regarded strategic business partner with a proven ability to effectively collaborate and change business outcomes for our clients. She adds great energy to our team’s culture in Sydney and is a trusted partner for her clients. I’ve worked with her closely for a while now and am delighted to see her step into the role, leading GPY&R Sydney.”
