Monks Appoints Nirvik Singh as CEO EMEA Marketing Services

S4Capital's Monks, a global digital-first marketing, advertising, and technology services company, has appointed Nirvik Singh to the Executive Leadership Team, initially focusing on its EMEA business as CEO EMEA Marketing Services, effective October 1, 2026. Singh, who joined the S4Capital Board of Directors as an independent Non-Executive Director in May 2025, will lead the region's business, bringing together brand strategy, creative craft, content orchestration, and data-driven media under Monks' unitary operating model.

Singh brings over 35 years of global marketing, communications, and operational leadership across five continents. Most recently, he served as Global Chief Operating Officer and President International at Grey Group, overseeing business operations across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Throughout his career, Singh has partnered with marquee enterprise brands, including Procter & Gamble, The Coca-Cola Company, Volvo, BAT, and Haleon, navigating complex regional dynamics while orchestrating creative strategy, technology, and commercial impact.

"Modern brands must move at the speed of culture. To achieve that real-time relevance, clients need an agile partner who breaks down the artificial barriers between creative, media, and tech. Having worked closely with Nirvik on our Board, I know his operational rigor, global network expertise, and shared conviction in our unitary model make him uniquely equipped to scale our EMEA presence."

Singh will work closely with Chief Revenue Officer EMEA Alex Oberberg, appointed earlier this year, and the EMEA country managing directors. Reporting directly to Bruno Lambertini, Singh will lead the region's business, bringing together brand strategy, creative craft, content orchestration, and data-driven media under Monks' unitary operating model. Singh's leadership will drive a bold expansion phase across EMEA, fueled by next-generation enterprise partnerships and the broader rollout of Monks.Flow, Monks' proprietary AI and workflow platform.
