WPP AUNZ chair Robert Mactier on what next for the group post takeover
April 22, 2021 11:51
Industry leaders have speculated to Mumbrella that with the dissolution of the board, Jens Monsees’ role as WPP AUNZ CEO and managing director will be drawn into question. No outposts of WPP plc have CEOs, but instead have country managers, and transitioning Monsees into a country manager seems unlikely.
Sources believe that Jens will leave the business, and instead a member of the WPP team from London will be ‘parachuted in’, to take up a country manager role.

Speaking to Mumbrella, chair of the WPP AUNZ board Robert Mactier said no decisions about the senior leadership team have been set in stone and reiterated that the business under Monsees’ leadership has achieved great success in financially turning its financial situation around against the backdrop of COVID-19, and that recent changes made under the group’s transformation strategy have had the full support of WPP plc.
