Grey London found itself reeling Tuesday as its top three executives announced their resignations en masse.

Nils Leonard, Lucy Jameson and Natalie Graeme—the shop's chairman/chief creative officer, CEO and managing director, respectively—informed Grey management they are leaving "to pursue their own interests," according to a statement from David Patton, president and CEO of Grey EMEA.

The trio are expected to go into business together, a source told Adweek, though their exact plans are not yet known.
