Independent positive change agency, Think HQ, has welcomed Victoria Gehrig into their national leadership team as Chief Operating Officer.
Based in Melbourne, she will partner with Founder and Managing Director, Jen Sharpe, to strengthen the agency's operational foundation across both Melbourne and Sydney offices.
Victoria returns to the Australian market following a six-year stint in the United States, where she served as Global M&A Integration Director at dentsu, driving acquisition activity. Prior to that, she spent more than a decade at Isobar Australia, ultimately serving as Group General Manager.
Jen said: "Vic has scaled agencies, integrated businesses and delivered at a global scale- and that's exactly what we need for Think HQ’s continuing growth. This kind of experience is rare, which made asking Vic to join the team a no-brainer."
Victoria said: "I've spent my career building the foundational capabilities that enable great businesses to grow - without losing what made them great in the first place. Jen has built Think HQ into something truly unique in the agency landscape, and I’m excited to help her scale at pace.”
