Omnicom’s PHD has poached Andrew McLean, chief business development officer at WPP’s GroupM, to run its U.S. operation as CEO.

McLean (pictured) replaces Scott Hagedorn, who has been reassigned to oversee a new Omnicom Media Group digital and analytics unit called Annalect Group. The moves are effective Dec. 1.

Hagedorn had overseen PHD since December 2008. During his tenure, the shop lost Charles Schwab and Relativity Media but won Porsche (as part of a global review) and Humana (as part of a holding company effort) and retained Discovery Communications.
