NEW YORK Interpublic Group’s McCann-Erickson is in negotiations to hire Rupert Howell to help run its European operations, sources said.

Howell was a founder of London agency HHCL & Partners who became co-chief executive of Chime Communications when HHCL was acquired by Chime. Howell resigned from Chime in 2002 as it merged with WPP Group’s Red Cell network in London.

Howell, 46, would report to David Warden, director of McCann’s European operations, and be groomed as an eventual successor to Warden, 54, sources said.
