DraftWorldwide president and COO Jordan Rednor, who led the agency’s late-1990s acquisition spree, is leaving to take an unspecified role at Interpublic Group.

Sources said Rednor, a financial specialist with a banking background but no strong client ties, is being moved “up and out.”

CEO Howard Draft denied that was the case. Last week, he acknowledged the Chicago-based IPG shop has halted acquisition activity amid the economic down turn, and that not all of the purchases made by the agency were winners.
