Advertising and media firm WPP has appointed Simon Dingemans to its board as a non-executive director, with immediate effect.
WPP said on Monday that Dingemans will join the firm from The Carlyle Group, where he is a senior advisor, focussed on the healthcare sector and other investment opportunities in the UK.
Prior to joining Carlyle, Simon was the chief financial officer of GlaxoSmithKline and a member of its main board between 2011 and 2019.
Roberto Quarta, the FTSE 100-listed firm’s chairman, said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon to WPP. His insight from a varied and distinguished career, combining both operational and financial experience, will be invaluable to the board as WPP continues its transformation and strategic progress.”
