Dive Brief:
- Havas Worldwide has selected Julieann Vukovich as its new chief talent officer for North America.
- In the newly created position, Vukovich will support global talent chief Patti Clifford by taking over North America and allowing Clifford to focus efforts globally.
- Vukovich's appointment is part of new CEO Andrew Bennett's plans to improve agency recruitment, evaluation, and talent efforts.
Dive Insight:
Vukovich's support to Clifford hints that the agency plans to expand globally as well as in North America. An agency has to be doing well to be really tuned into recruiting because it means jobs are being created. Of course, Havas Global already employs around 2,500 in North America, so Vukovich will have her hands full.
