Valentine Radford president Siobhan Lesley has resigned from the shop, which is struggling to come back from several years of declining billings capped by the loss of its cornerstone Bayer Corp. account last October.

According to agency CEO Chuck Curtis, Lesley decided to step down in May so she could spend more time with her children. A 17-year veteran of the Kansas City, Mo., agency, Lesley became president in October 2000.

“She wanted to do something different,” said Curtis, who has assumed Lesley’s title and duties.
