Cheil London has appointed Peter Zillig, a former chief executive of Havas Worldwide New York as the chief executive of its London office. Appointment follows the resignation of Paul Hammersley, the chief executive of Cheil UK, last month. Zillig, who will report to the chief executive of Cheil Europe Kevin Park, will take responsibility for the Cheil London office.

Park said: “A proven leader, Peter has a compelling combination of energy, skills and experience to lead Cheil London as it becomes a digital and platform business. He’s a very welcome addition to the talented team.”
Zillig commented: “With technology and creativity colliding, Cheil’s technology rich DNA and recently curated management team makes it ideally placed to deliver standout work in a digital world. Cheil London has a bright future that I look forward to being part of.”
