The WPP Scangroup Board sincerely thanks him for his valuable insights and contributions, which have greatly influenced the Company’s growth and transformation during his time with us,” stated Winnie Jumba, Company Secretary.
This departure comes at a time when WPP Scangroup continues to reposition itself in the competitive advertising and communications industry, aiming to capitalize on emerging business opportunities and address the challenges posed by the rapid pace of technological change.
The company has not yet announced a successor, but industry insiders expect that the new appointee will be someone with a strong background in digital innovation and international market expansion, continuing the trajectory set by De Nardis.
