Carla Hendra is vacating her role as North American CEO of Ogilvy & Mather to run a new specialty unit that the WPP Group agency is launching next year.

Hendra, 53, will become chairman of the new Global Strategy & Innovation Practice, effective Jan. 4, the agency said today. As a result, Hendra, a 14-year veteran of Ogilvy, will shed her dual roles as North American CEO and chairman of the network’s New York office.

Hendra became a North American leader in 2005, when she and Bill Gray rose to co-CEOs of the region.
