U.S Carat CEO Angela Steele returning to Publicis Groupe in global role

Angela Steele is leaving her role as the U.S CEO of Dentsu’s Carat and returning to Publicis Groupe in a global position. The holding company declined to offer more details of her new role, the details of which will be disclosed when her position begins in January 2022. She will report directly to Arthur Sadoun, CEO and chairman of Publicis Groupe. Steele, who will be based in New York, will not be replacing anyone. Dentsu wasn’t immediately available for comment. “Angela is recognized for her excellent strategic instincts, her ability to inspire diverse teams, and her commitment to driving big impact for notable brands,” Sadoun said in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome her back to Publicis Groupe and I’m really looking forward to working closely together in 2022.” New: Carat names new U.S. CEO amid shakeup The appointment marks a return to Publicis Groupe for Steele, who previously spent more than a decade in leadership roles at Starcom. Steele has over 20 years of experience in the industry, having worked with General Motors, Pfizer, Microsoft, and Procter & Gamble. Steele spent six years with Dentsu. She was named chief strategy officer of the media agency in 2017 before being named U.S. CEO two years later. This move comes after the Japanese holding company has made some significant hires recently. Last week, Carat appointed Mike Parker as its new executive client president overseeing the global Microsoft media business across all markets for the network. Earlier this month Dentsu announced that Toshihiro Yamamoto is set to retire from his roles as president and CEO of Dentsu Group after holding those positions for five years, and will be succeeded by Hiroshi Igarashi starting in January 2022. In July, Fred Levron was named global chief creative officer for Dentsu International.
