John Rogers, CFO at WPP, is exiting the company after nearly three years to pursue broader management duties elsewhere.
Joanne Wilson, CFO at Britvic soft drinks company, will take over for Rogers after the closing of the 2022 books.
He will be available to WPP through the end of next year to ensure a smooth transition to Wilson when she assumes the CFO post during the first half of 2023.
Rogers helped guide WPP through both CEO Mark Read’s creative transformation program in the aftermath of Martin Sorrell and the pandemic.
Read thanked Rogers for his leadership and contributions to WPP, which included an overall revamping of its financial function.
Rogers said he’s leaving WPP at a time when it is well-positioned for success and enters its next round of growth.
“I feel now is the right time to move on to new challenges and to begin a smooth transition to a new CFO,” he said.
Wilson began her career at KMPG and held various jobs at Tesco, including CFO at its data science unit.
WPP chief Cindy Rose is cutting up to 1,000 jobs by the end of the year, adding to the 11K jobs lost since the start of 2025, according to a report in the Financial Times.
WPP CEO Cindy Rose declares her stabilization plan is "firmly on track" as the company reports a 4.7 percent dip in 1H revenues.
FTI Consulting reported a 2.6 percent drop in Q2 strategic communications revenues to $100M, a shortfall largely due to a $7.4M decline in pass-through revenues.
Omnicom CEO John Wren reported a 7.2 percent rise in Q2 “core operations” to $6B and a 6.1 percent spurt on an organic basis.
Publicis Groupe’s H1 net revenues inched ahead by 1.1 percent to $8.3B. Organic growth hit the 4.7 percent mark.
