After serving the role of Chief Executive Officer at Mullen Lintas for the past more than four years, Hari Krishnan has decided to call it quits at the agency.
Prior to assuming the role of CEO at Mullen Lintas, he served as MullenLowe Lintas Group’s President for a period of more than three-and-a-half years, starting July 2016. Before that, he was associated with MullenLowe Sri Lanka for one-and-a-half years as CEO.
From 2010 to February 2015, Krishnan worked with Grey Group. He joined them as VP and Branch Head (Mumbai) in 2010 and was elevated to the role of SVP and Business Head in March 2011.
He also served as Star TV’s VP-Marketing for a comparatively short period of nine months from July 2009 to March 2010.
In his earlier stint with Grey Group, he was working as the agency’s AVP and Branch Head for two years, starting 2007.
He began his career with Lowe Lintas and Partners in January 1997 as an Account Manager and was elevated to the role of Account Director at Lintas in December 2003. From 2005 to 2007, he was the Senior Brand Services Director at the agency.
Sharing his views on the departure from Lintas after nearly two decades, Krishnan mentioned, “Yes, it’s April 1st but this isn’t a prank. When a brand becomes a part of your identity, it’s impossible to leave it behind. Especially if the brand is called Lintas.”
