We are obviously delighted that Burson-Marsteller has attracted him to return to the agency world. I have no doubt that his domestic and international experience will provide our teams in Sydney and Melbourne with invigorating leadership and our clients with superb strategic insight," Bill Rylance, president and CEO for B-M Asia Pacific said in a statement.
