Publicis Sapient has named Nigel Vaz as its new Global CEO, succeeding Alan Wexler who will take on the Chairman post.
Wexler, who was named CEO in December 2017, will move to become chairman immediately while Vaz will step up to become the first Global CEO of the company.
Vaz is also global lead for digital business transformation for the Groupe. He will now be charged with leading Sapient’s ability to offer consulting, creativity and technology to drive digital transformation for clients.
“My initial focus will be on unifying our 20,000 people and 53 offices behind the Publicis Sapient brand and the pursuit of global digital business transformation opportunities,” Vaz told The Drum.
“Beyond that, my responsibility will be to drive growth consistently across our markets; the ongoing delivery of best-in-class capabilities across strategy and consulting, experience and engineering; and the attraction and development of the best industry talent.”
He added that his focus would be client-centric in helping them ‘transform’ through the use of technology.
The announcement over the leadership changes came ahead of Publicis Groupe announcing its latest quarterly figures.
