Ron Bess said scouting potential acquisitions, domestically as well as overseas, will be a major function of his new role at Foote, Cone & Belding.
Bess, who has been president of FCB’s office here for the past two years, was elevated to the vacant post of worldwide president of the agency. He reports to Brendan Ryan, FCB’s New York chairman.
