Clive Sirkin’s vacation to the U.S. following his 1984 graduation from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa became an extended stay when he landed a job at a jewelry and clothing manufacturing company in Dallas.

Twenty years later, Sirkin, 40, is still here, recently becoming the sole group managing director at Publicis Groupe’s Leo Burnett in Chicago.

Sirkin will continue in his previous role as worldwide account head for Kellogg’s. His new post adds responsibilities for the agency’s Canadian operations, as well as strategy and operations for all global accounts, including McDonald’s and Altria Group’s Philip Morris.
