This morning WPP CEO Mark Read confirmed the appointment of Wunderman veteran Judy Jackson to the newly created role of global head of culture.

The announcement follows last week’s news that the holding company had hired Walmart’s chief people officer, Jacqui Canney, to fill the same role. Judy Jackson will report to Canney, who begins her new job on June 1.

In an internal memo, Read cited the need for “a strong, positive and inclusive culture … one that wants to attract the brightest and most forward-looking people.”

“At WPP [Jackson] will help bring to life the new company values we announced in December: openness, optimism and a commitment to extraordinary work.”
