• Rose Herceg lands top WPP role.
• Chris Rollinson, formerly CFO, becomes Chief Operating Officer.
• Tim Matheson becomes Chief Technology Officer.

Rose Herceg has been confirmed as WPP President for ANZ. The holdco said the role tallied with its country manager role in other markets.

Herceg had stepped in to handle operations and comms after former CEO Jens Monsees exited the business in May, and was tipped to take the reins full time.

The announcement puts to bed rumours pre-Christmas that WPP was still seeking a country manager, a role which co-ordinates the group’s CEOs, resources and reporting.

Chris Rollinson, previously Chief Financial Officer, becomes Chief Operating Officer, and Tim Matheson becomes Chief Technology Officer.
