Martin Sorrell refuses to go quietly.

In keeping with his bombastic personal style, the now-former CEO of WPP told more than 100 attendees at New York’s Techonomy conference this week that he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

This morning, both the Financial Times and PRWeek reported on the event at which Sorrell said, “I’m going to start again. I’m not going into voluntary or involuntary retirement.”

The conference comes just over one month after news that WPP’s board of directors was investigating allegations of “personal misconduct” by Sorrell shook the global ad industry.
