Maxus has bolstered its senior management team with the appointment of GroupM’s David Kaganovsky (pictured) as chief information officer.

Former E&Y and PWC consultant Kaganovsky joins from his current post as GroupM’s global applications director, as part of which he sat on GroupM’s global IT executive committee and global technology strategy board.

Kaganovsky will report into GroupM’s CIO Yvonne Ferguson on central agency projects, and develop bespoke technology to help Maxus deliver “tailored solutions” for clients.

Maxus has made a further change to its global team, promoting global new business and marketing director Richard Stokes to the newly-created post of chief development officer. In the role, Stokes will be responsible for driving the agency’s ‘Lean into change’ brand positioning.

It also recently appointed Damian Blackden as chief strategy officer.

Maxus worldwide chief executive Lindsay Pattison said: “At Maxus, the fastest growing agency network, we challenge ourselves worldwide to stay ahead of the market, leading change for our clients and we need exceptional people to realise this ambition.

“[Kaganovsky] and [Stokes] will be key to our future growth plans and in continuing to offer our clients and teams best-in-class service.
