Devika Bulchandani, in her new role as Chief Operating Officer of WPP, will be charged with commercializing services across the WPP ecosystem in a streamlined and client-centric manner. Under her leadership, Ogilvy was transformed into a modern, diversified, and globally awarded creative powerhouse, being named the world’s Most Creative and Most Effective network for three consecutive years (2023–2025) on WARC’s Creative 100 and Effective 100 rankings.

Laurent Ezekiel, the incoming Global CEO of Ogilvy Group, will lead the network’s full suite of integrated marketing capabilities, including advertising, PR, social & influence, customer engagement, consulting, and health. Ezekiel’s previous success in architecting WPP Open X for The Coca-Cola Company—considered the industry’s largest global marketing partnership—positions him well to scale Ogilvy’s growth and creative excellence even further.

Floriane Tripolino, now CEO of WPP Open X, will scale the innovation-first partnership model with The Coca-Cola Company by leveraging advanced AI, data capabilities, and creative solutions such as Studio X. Her prior success in deepening WPP’s partnership with Nestlé, expanding media capabilities, and championing WPP Open tools underscores her strategic acumen and ability to drive transformation at scale.

Cindy Rose, CEO of WPP, said: “These appointments underscore WPP’s commitment to delivering unparalleled value and innovation. Devika’s deep obsession with helping our clients grow and win, will help us accelerate our growth across the entire WPP landscape. Laurent’s close, successful partnership with The Coca Cola Company and creation of WPP Open X gives him valuable insight and experience to help navigate the needs of our largest clients, many of which are housed in Ogilvy. These leaders embody the strategic vision and creative excellence that define WPP. Their collective expertise will play a crucial part in helping me drive WPP to our next phase of growth and ensuring our clients continue to win in a rapidly evolving market.”

Devika Bulchandani, incoming Chief Operating Officer at WPP, noted: “I have been the luckiest person in the world, to have the best job in the world as Ogilvy’s CEO – and I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved together as a team. Having partnered closely with Laurent, I’ve seen firsthand his unparalleled ability to drive growth and champion creative excellence. I can’t think of a better leader to partner with Liz Taylor, our Chief Creative Officer, and our leadership team to guide Ogilvy to even greater heights. As we all begin this next chapter at WPP, I’m energised by the immense potential ahead. I truly believe that when we seamlessly bring together WPP’s world-class capabilities, we become an invincible force – one that unlocks unparalleled value for our clients. I look forward to collaborating with Cindy and leaders across WPP to amplify that impact and drive even greater success for our partners.”

Laurent Ezekiel, incoming Global CEO of Ogilvy, added: “It is an immense honour to lead the Ogilvy Group, an iconic network I deeply admire – one that was founded by a true pioneer in David Ogilvy, and that Devika has steered to unprecedented success with an exceptional leadership team that is leading the industry forward. I am eager to build on this incredible legacy – championing modern marketing and innovation to ensure Ogilvy continues to be the most creative and effective communications partner for brands worldwide. The future of Ogilvy is bright, and I’m thrilled to be a part of writing the next chapter of marketing history with our teams and clients.”

Floriane Tripolino, incoming CEO of WPP Open X, said: “Stepping into the role as CEO of WPP Open X is an energising opportunity. The Coca-Cola Company is the house of multiple iconic brands and a cornerstone partner for WPP. I’m deeply honoured to join this talented team, ready to build on our strong foundation. I’m excited to work with Laurent in this next phase of our marketing transformation, ensuring our partnership continues to lead the industry and deliver truly impactful, future-forward work.”
