WPP’s GroupM has landed a second coup in a matter of months from Omnicom Media Group’s OMD, as the agency’s chief operating officer is set to move across to take up the role of chief growth officer.

Nathan Young joined OMD as business development and marketing director in 2015, moving through the ranks before being appointed COO by Buchanan in May 2019. OMD has not made any comment on a replacement.

Young has worked alongside incoming GroupM CEO Aimee Buchanan for several years at OMD, and the two will reconnect at the WPP agency group later this year.
