Michael Houston, global chief marketing officer of Grey Group, has been named managing director of Grey New York, a new position.

A candidate to replace Houston, who was named to the global marketing role last year, has not been identified.

In his new position, the 39-year-old executive takes on expanded New York management responsibility as he continues to spearhead Grey’s business development efforts. He will work closely with Tor Myhren, Grey N.Y.’s president and chief creative officer, to whom he reports.

Working with Myhren, Houston has been a key player in Grey Group CEO and chairman Jim Heekin’s efforts to remake the WPP agency.
