15274: HR Globetrotters Saving The World From Systemic Racism…?


Business Insider reported Ogilvy hired a Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer and Chief People Officer for North America. Of course they did. It’s a delegating diversity double duty—as well as more titles than can comfortably fit on a standard business card. The latest heat shield executive apparently replaces the Worldwide Executive Director of Diversity & Inclusion hired by Ogilvy in 2019, who elevated to the role of Global Executive Director of Diversity & Inclusion at WPP before bailing out to become the first-ever Global Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Condé Nast. Gee, with all these regional, continental and planetary figures, why is the advertising industry still White World?
