WPP reveals new COO and Ogilvy CEO as new era gets underway
Laurent Ezekiel, Cindy Rose and Devika Bulchandani
WPP has a series of new senior leaders in the wake of its chief operating officer Andrew Scott stepping down, and new CEO Cindy Rose beginning her post last week.
Scott first joined WPP back in 1999 as director of corporate development, and went on to hold various roles over the years, including COO of the Europe operation, and then global COO from 2018 onwards. Last week, on the first day of new CEO Cindy Rose’s tenure, he announced he would step down at the end of the year.
Scott will be replaced as COO by current global CEO of the Ogilvy agency, Devika Bulchandani.
Bulchandani had been president of McCann New York before joining Ogilvy in March 2021 as global president as well as CEO for its North American business. In September 2022, she was promoted to global CEO of Ogilvy.
