MSLGroup Global CEO Steps Down, Moves to Publicis Worldwide

The president of Publicis Worldwide Network will be "overseeing" MSLGroup.

Olivier Fleurot, who has served as global CEO of MSLGroup for six years, will step down to assume a role on the advertising side of the Publicis Worldwide organization.

Arthur Sadoun, an agency executive who was promoted to president of the Publicis Worldwide Network in late 2013, will now “take on direct supervision” of MSL in addition to the Publicis ad unit. The “notoriously press-shy” Sadoun–who told Digiday last week that talent retention is his agency’s biggest challenge–is widely seen as the most likely successor to Maurice Levy, the aging Publicis chief expected to (finally) retire in 2017.
