They've recently promoted Ivan Perez-Armendariz, Heide Peper Hays, Diego de la Maza, and Lauren Tetuan to join the C-suite, becoming chief digital officer, chief data and intelligence officer, chief production officer, and chief media officer, respectively.
Kim Getty, Deutsch's CEO, says, "The agency wouldn't be what it is today without their leadership and vision. They go above and beyond to deliver breakthrough work and establish a culture every Deutscher is proud to be part of."
📰 A Look Back: The Sale of Deutsch New York
Before the merger between Omnicom and IPG, back in January, IPG had already sold Deutsch New York, hinting at potential changes brewing within the agency.
🔍 The Impact on Leadership Structure
As for how all this might affect the leadership structure at Deutsch, it's hard to say at this point. However, it's clear that Omnicom is gearing up for the integration process by reorganizing and streamlining operations across its combined entities post-acquisition. While specific leadership changes are still unknown, details will likely be announced by the company in the coming months.
