Luca Lindner has been promoted to president of McCann Worldgroup, a new role at the Interpublic company. The 53-year-old has been president for the Americas, Middle East and Africa since late 2012.

The move comes just weeks after Lindner’s close working partner at Worldgroup, Gustavo Martinez, president of Europe and Asia, announced his departure to become global president at JWT in February and succeed Bob Jeffrey as global CEO in 2015.

Lindner, well-regarded for his client finesse, has overseen multinational marketers and McCann operations in Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
