The Late Mervyn Neo
Mervyn spent 35 years in the communications business working with numerous leading market brands. He started out as an Account Executive and rose to the position of one of the Managing Directors of Ogilvy & Mather Singapore.




The late Mervyn Neo

However, it is not his distinguished career that we at Ogilvy fondly remember him by.

Mervyn's tremendous appetite for living was well known. The middle road was not for him. Everything - living, loving, work and eating - had to be carried out with total passion, dedication and commitment.

Mervyn was a well-respected leader but more importantly, an encouraging friend and mentor. At times he may have appeared demanding but those who knew him knew that he demanded even more of himself than others.

He may have passed on. but his generosity, his integrity and above all, his enduring spirit lives on.
