New Leader Named for Ipsos Connect MENA

Ipsos has promoted Elie Aoun to the position of Chief Executive Officer of its Connect division in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa). He will take up the post in January.

Ipsos Connect was formed in February through the merger of the group's ASI and MediaCT units, and houses its brand communication, advertising and media businesses. Aoun (pictured) joined the group in 1992 as Chief Operating Officer of Ipsos MediaCT, based in Dubai. He has since served as President of the MEAP (Middle East, Africa and Pakistan) Region.

In his new role, Aoun will report directly to Yannick Carriou, Ipsos Connect Global CEO, and to Edouard Monin, CEO of Ipsos MENA.
