CHICAGO Publicis Groupe said its president and chief operating officer Roger Haupt is stepping down from those posts and the holding company’s management board.

He will remain chairman of Publicis Groupe Media and will continue to act as a consultant to Publicis Groupe chairman and CEO Maurice Levy.

In a letter to the company, Haupt, 57, said he planned to progressively relinquish his management duties with the company. Haupt was named president and chief operating officer of the Paris-based holding company in September 2002, when Publicis Groupe bought Haupt-run Bcom3 Group, then parent company of Leo Burnett and D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles.
