Alex Leikikh’s ascent to the top of Mullen is complete.

The executive who joined four years ago as director of account service and rose to president of the shop’s Boston headquarters in 2011 has become the third CEO in the agency’s 43-year history.

As head of the five-office agency, Leikikh succeeds Joe Grimaldi, CEO since 1999. Grimaldi will retain his other role as chairman through the end of 2015, when he’ll exit the shop he joined way back in 1982 as director of client services.

For Grimaldi, 62, the timing of the transition is perfect.
