Cheil Agency Network Elevates Mattis and Mehta to C-Suite Roles
The Cheil Agency Network is restructuring its executive leadership to sustain a period of rapid expansion, promoting Bill Mattis to chief growth officer and appointing Gourang Mehta as chief technology officer. These appointments arrive as the network eyes further growth following a string of 20 new account wins since 2025.
Mehta, transitioning from his role as managing director at Barbarian, will spearhead the network’s technical evolution. His focus includes implementing generative AI and enterprise workflow automation to drive tangible business outcomes rather than pursuing purely experimental technology. According to Maglio, Mehta’s technical background is critical for navigating the current shift toward agentic workflows and complex digital transformation. The network reports a 26% year-over-year increase in net new revenue, a trend it intends to accelerate by leveraging these new leadership roles to bridge the gap between creative output and technical performance.
