CHICAGO Cheryl Berman, Leo Burnett’s North American chairman and former U.S. chief creative officer, is leaving the agency at the end of the year to pursue an independent venture focused on women’s communications services, according to the shop.

Berman, who spent her entire 32-year career at the agency here, was chief creative officer of Leo Burnett USA from 1997-2006.

“I’ve had a wonderful adventure at Leo Burnett. How many people can say they had the opportunity to direct Michael Jordan in a 60-second commercial, or write a song performed live at the Super Bowl by Christina Aguilera?” Berman said in a statement.
