Ogilvy terminated its longtime global creative leader Tham Khai Meng today after employees complained about unspecified violations of company policy, according to an internal memo from CEO John Seifert.
In the memo, sent to all staff today, Seifert mentioned complaints “regarding the behavior of Tham Khai Meng” that came to his attention two weeks ago.
Seifert did not specify the nature of these complaints in the memo but did state that he “found these complaints serious enough to appoint external legal counsel to investigate the matter.”
After stating that the subsequent investigation “concluded that Khai’s behavior was a clear breach of our company values and code of conduct,” Seifert confirmed that his employment with Ogilvy was terminated today, effective immediately.
