A spokeswoman for Visa said Kapoor will officially assume his new position in May. He is currently in a transition process during which he will maintain his regional duties while being prepared for his new role in Europe.
Kapoor has held his regional role since May 2007, and prior to his time at Visa held the post of EVP of Nestlé India for two years.
Visa Asia-Pacific currently works with networks OMD and TBWA, which scooped the brand’s account from BBDO in September as part of Visa’s global bid to consolidate its creative agencies.
