Maroun Hassoun has been appointed as Regional General Manager of OMD MENA at OMD MENA Omnicom Media Group In Riyadh
Omnicom Media Group MENA announced the appointment of Maroun Hassoun as Regional General Manager of OMD MENA. Maroun has moved from the Group's PHD Lebanon office over to OMD to run the business in the Lower Gulf, Iraq and supporting Wissam Najjar, COO of OMD MENA in leading the mobile telecommunications company, Zain, across the region.
Maroun offers over 15 years of regional media experience with 7 years of specialised expertise in telecoms. Prior to this move, Maroun led PHD Lebanon as regional general manager where he built a new market leader from scratch and grew the business three-fold in less than 3 years. His exuberant enthusiasm, determination and rigour have led him to achieve impressive milestones for the agency and in 2018 he was recognised as the office leader at the OMG MENA awards due to his great work in building disproportionate growth in Beirut.
This appointment comes at a time when OMG MENA is fast-expanding its role and services in the Gulf and particularly in Saudi Arabia. Today, the group has offices based in Riyadh and Jeddah managing business operations across KSA.
Maroun will be assuming this new role effective immediately, reporting directly to Wissam Najjar and will be based in Riyadh.
