Anaka Kobzev, who directed communications for WPP's JWT, is moving to Omnicom as global head of communications for its global ad unit TBWA Worldwide.
Kobzev starts the post April 18 in New York reporting to CEO Troy Ruhanen, who said the agency looked at several candidates within and outside of the ad realm.
She was previously communications director for Interpublic's McCann Erickson and started out at IPG's Initiative.
Kobzev exits JWT amid the turmoil surrounding disgraced former CEO Gustavo Martinez, who was bounced last month amid a sexual harassment suit by the ad agency's communications chief, Erin Johnson.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
