The Works’ Julie Dormand elevated to new role as managing director
The Works, part of Capgemini, has looked internally to fill the newly created role of managing director, selecting Julie Dormand.
Previously CEO at Publicis Groupe’s Mercerbell prior to the Performics Mercerbell merger, Dormand has been occupying the role of managing partner on a contract basis since November, providing maternity cover for Kristie Thistlewaite.
The new position will see Dormand stay at the agency permanently, playing a central role overseeing the The Works key business planning initiatives, commercials, people & culture, growth and general management.
On her appointment, Dormand said: “I’m beyond excited to be staying on at The Works! In fact since day one I knew this was a very special and unique place”. Dormand continues: “The agency is an entirely people-first organisation and it has been amazing to see first-hand how the impact of the agency’s wellness initiatives for our people actually result in first-class work and results for our clients. The business continues to have many new ways to grow and being part of Capgemini helps enormously”.
The Works founder and creative partner Damian Pincus added: “Since Jules joined us back in November not only has she significantly deepened and grown relationships with new and current clients, she’s managed to do so whilst simultaneously being a mentor and an inspiration to our people helping them fulfill their true potential and career goals. And I believe this has been a big part of how we recently ranked 9th on WRK+ Best Places to Work list”.
“From the first day I met Jules I knew we could learn a lot from her experience, her genuine love for the people and the work is inspirational to be around. Some decisions make themselves and offering Jules the role of managing director was certainly one of them and I (and the entire Works family) are pumped she’s decided to stick around.”
