Arthur Sadoun's star keeps rising at Publicis Groupe. The exec, named global CEO of Publicis Worldwide in 2013, is adding oversight of MSLGROUP, the public affairs, corporate communications and event unit at the French holding company, to his list of responsibilities.

As a result, Olivier Fleurot, MSLGROUP's current CEO, has been named to the new role of svp at Publicis Groupe. He'll oversee communications, corporate social responsibility, real estate, insurance and cross-disciplinary programs.

The 44-year-old Sadoun, thought to be a top contender to succeed Publicis Groupe chief Maurice Lévy, has been taking on new responsibilities since joining Paris-based Publicis Conseil as CEO in 2006.
