Ogilvy PR has promoted Washington president Robert Mathias to CEO of North America for the firm.
Mathias, who continues to lead the firm's largest office in Washington and first joined the firm in 1988 in San Francisco, will report to global CEO Christopher Graves and Ogilvy & Mather chairman/CEO John Seifert.
Graves said the D.C. office has become a "best practice" for the firm worldwide for its client service, growth, staff education and development. He said Mathias will work to "unite" the firm's North American operations.
Mathias took a leave from Ogilvy during the George H.W. Bush administration, serving in the Dept. of Energy.
