Michael Law, who led Ogilvy PR's western operations as managing director, is leaving for the U.S. president slot at Burson-Marsteller.
Both firms are owned by WPP.
"He is a man of vision and decency who gave us 22 wonderful years of his career," said Ogilvy CEO Michael Graves, who added that Law will still be working with the firm through joint WPP accounts.
Law, who moves to Burson on Feb. 1, held several posts in two decades at Ogilvy, including president of Southeast Asia with postings in Hong Kong and Singapore. He was also a senior VP in its Washington public affairs unit.
Ogilvy said Chicago managing director Nathan Friedman has expanded his duties to include regional managing director, Ogilvy PR West, until a Chicago replacement is found.
Dave DenHerder is U.S. CEO of B-M, which named Don Baer CEO in July to replace Mark Penn. |
