The head of Team Detroit, the agency that manages WPP Group’s global Ford business, is moving to New York to steer global business development for WPP.

George Rogers, CEO of Team Detroit, will assume his new role next week and continue to report to WPP CEO Martin Sorrell, according to an internal email from Sorrell.

The move reflects Rogers’ success at marshaling multiple disciplines to serve global companies. Team Detroit itself is an amalgam of a half-dozen WPP shops: JWT, Ogilvy & Mather, Young & Rubicam, Wunderman, MEC and Mindshare.
