Havas Appoints New Executive Leaders in Chicago Office

In an effort to build a strong leadership team and adapt to the changing business needs of clients, Havas has announced the appointments of Lilia Arroyo Flores and Maisha Pearson as the new executive leaders in its Chicago office for 2021.

Lilia Arroyo Flores has been named as the Chief Strategy Officer, while Maisha Pearson will serve as the Chief Client Officer. Both appointments were made by Havas and take effect from the start of the new year.

Lilia Arroyo Flores, who assumed her position on January 1st, 2021, brings a wealth of experience to her new role. She joined Havas as the Executive Vice President of Strategy in 2018 and has since played a key role in the agency's success.

Maisha Pearson, on the other hand, has been a valuable member of Havas' team for several years. She has been appointed as the Chief Client Officer, a role that will see her lead the agency's client relationships and ensure they are aligned with Havas' ambition to be both city strong and fiercely collaborative across the network.

Stephanie Nerlich, the CEO of Havas Creative North America, highlighted the importance of these appointments, stating that they are representative of the heart and muscle of Chicago. She went on to emphasize the significance of Lilia and Maisha in the context of Havas' Chicago office leadership team, stating that they are especially noteworthy members.

The appointments come as Paul Marobella, who has been with Havas for eight years, departs from the company. Nerlich's statement also referenced the importance of strategy and leadership in guiding clients' business needs, indicating that these appointments are a strategic move to ensure Havas continues to meet the needs of its clients in the current context.

With these appointments, Havas' Chicago office is poised for continued success and growth in 2021 and beyond. Lilia Arroyo Flores will serve as the executive strategy leader, while Maisha Pearson will take on the role of the executive client leader. Both women are expected to play a crucial role in Havas' Chicago office's future.
