Publicis Groupe makes talent top priority by creating CTO position

-

Emmanuel André has been appointed to the newly created role of Chief Talent Officer at Publicis Groupe.

Effective September 18, 2017, Emmanuel André will be in charge of talent management and recruitmen­t, working directly with the Solutions CEOS and their respective CTOS, who will be functional­ly reporting to him. He will also be in charge of all Groupe learning, developmen­t programs and group culture. New York based, he will join the Management Committee and report directly to Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe.

André is currently President Internatio­nal of Tbwa\worldwide and has in his existing remit the management of the company’s collective “people” strategy, covering the key areas of learning, career developmen­t, top talent recruitmen­t and the culture at large. He is a French citizen who started his career in advertisin­g in 1993 and has worked in Paris, Hong Kong and New York where he now lives. He began at TBWA Paris as an account executive, moved to new business, led global accounts and joined the Asia-pacific leadership for the network before becoming COO of Us-based Tbwa\worldwide in 2008. He was nominated to his current President role in March 2015.

“Emmanuel’s appointeme­nt is an important step in our ambition to become the market leader in marketing and business transforma­tion. Bringing a CTO at the top level of our organisati­on was critical at a moment when our people need to embark on our transforma­tion journey. With Maurice Lévy, we strongly believed it was essential to entrust this role to someone who knows our business inside out and understand­s the challenges our people are facing every day. Talent is the Groupe’s top priority and biggest asset. Emmanuel will have an important role to play in all the initiative­s that are building our Groupe culture while attracting, rewarding, retaining and training the best and most collaborat­ive team in the industry to serve our clients even better than before,” said Arthur Sadoun.
