GroupM Australia has named Deepak Tahiliani Head of Digital Investment, replacing former digital lead Venessa Hunt.

Hunt joined industry lobby group ThinkPremiumDigital earlier this year. Tahiliani has relocated to Sydney and starts the role this month.

He has more than 15 years' experience in digital, joins from GroupM India and will now work closely with recently announced Chief Investment Officer Seb Rennie - who returns to Australia after three years with GroupM Canada.

“India is a hyper-growth market, a hugely fragmented and complex media landscape with a ton of potential in media growth in years to come," Tahiliani says.

"My time with GroupM India has given me great learnings to tackle these nuances and I’m excited to bring this experience to my new role and help drive growth and value for our clients in the Australian market.”
