Peter Stranger will step down as CEO of J. Walter Thompson West at the end of the year, a victim of belt-tightening measures, the agency confirmed.

No successor will be named. Instead, the two offices Stranger has been leading—Los Angeles and San Francisco—will each have their own management.

Former Ogilvy & Mather chairman Jerry McGee will become president in L.A. The San Francisco office will be run by managing partners Kevin Burke and Iwan Thomis.
