Hari Krishnan has been appointed as the CEO of Mullen Lintas. Mullen Lintas was set up in 2015 as the challenger minded agency with "Most talent per square foot".

Hari moves from Lowe Lintas where he was President and was spearheading the South operations, one of the country's leading agency offices.

Speaking about Hari's appointment, Virat Tandon, Group CEO, MullenLowe Lintas Group said, "Mullen Lintas has created a name and stature for itself in a very short period of time and is poised for more. The reason for that lies in our commitment to always put the A-Team at Mullen Lintas. So, when we were looking for the best person to lead the agency as CEO, Hari was a natural choice. He has the best credentials in the country as a P&L leader, an entrepreneur and as a brand and idea champion.

He is passionate about making the agency future-oriented. We were fortunate that he also happened to be working at Lowe Lintas. Hari's appointment is another big step to ensure that Mullen Lintas lives up to its purpose of Challenger Thinking and offers clients a credible alternative to the top 2-3 agencies. His insatiable appetite for growth, challenges and creative excellence makes him the perfect candidate to drive Mullen Lintas into its next phase of growth and discovery."
