M&C Saatchi announces Board change

The Board is pleased to announce its intention to appoint Lorna Tilbian(1) as a non-executive Director.

She will join the Board on 30 January 2018.

Lorna Tilbian has had a 30--year career in investment banking, focused on the Media sector. From 1987 to 2012 she was a top--ranked equity research analyst and in 2012 she was appointed Head of Media, Corporate Broking and Advisory at Numis Corporation PLC. Prior to joining Numis in 2001, Lorna worked at WestLB Panmure (1995--2001), SG Warburg (1988--1995) and Sheppards & Chase (1984--1988).

Jeremy Sinclair, Chairman of M&C Saatchi, said: "Lorna Tilbian is one of the most experienced and respected figures in the industry. We are delighted to welcome her to the M&C Saatchi PLC board as our fourth non-executive Director. We have known Lorna for most of her career, during which she has worked with countless companies, large and small, and seen the continual evolution of the sector at close hand. Her knowledge and insight will be of great benefit to M&C Saatchi as we pursue our strategy of New Business and New Businesses."

Lorna Tilbian said: "I've had the privilege of a ringside seat at most of the defining media developments since the mid-80s when Saatchi first pioneered globalisation and one-stop shopping. Since then the digital revolution has redrawn the media landscape, but creativity remains at the heart of all successful media and none more so than in the brutal simplicity of M&C Saatchi. To join these pioneers is a proud moment for me and I look forward to enjoying the next stage of the media evolution together."
