Publicis management team forms
Matthias Koller and Candido Righetto are the first members of Publicis' new executive team.
According to a statement on Sunday, Koller and Righetto will be promoted to Managing Directors with immediate effect and will join a newly formed management team, which will be expanded in the coming weeks. Thomas Wildberger and Edgar Magyar, CEO and CFO for the entire agency group Publicis Communications, are thus relying on two people from their own ranks who have made a significant contribution to the agency's success in recent years.
Matthias Koller (pictured left) has been with Publicis for six years and is responsible in consulting for national clients such as PostFinance, V-Zug, Calanda and also for Heineken and Jeep. Candido Righetto (right) has been with Publicis for more than nine years and currently looks after the clients Swiss and Jura, has, among other things, operationally managed the rebranding of Salt and brings with him many years of experience on international clients such as Zurich Insurance.
Koller and Righetto will assume overall responsibility for consulting at the Publicis advertising agency and are also expected to help ensure creative leadership and digital transformation in account management as well.
