Adam Gerhart has been named global CEO of media agency Mindshare.
He replaces Nick Emery who was pushed out in October for “inappropriate and offensive” behaviour.
Gerhart, currently the chief executive of the US operations who joined 18 years ago as an assistant media planner, starts the new role in January.
“One of the agency’s greatest strengths has been its connected global network,” says Gerhart.
“The opportunity to lead this incredible group leave me without words to describe my pride and excitement.”
