Michael Roth Steps Down as CEO of Interpublic Group, Remains as Executive Chairman
Michael Roth, who is not an advertising professional by trade, has served as the CEO of Interpublic Group (IPG) for 15 years. However, the specifics about his professional background before joining IPG are not well-documented.
Roth joined IPG in the 1980s and held various roles within the company before assuming the CEO position, which he took over from David Bell in an unspecified year. His tenure as CEO saw the growth of IPG, a global advertising conglomerate that owns agencies such as McCann, FCB, Golin, R\GA, MullenLowe, Weber Shandwick, and many others.
In January this year, Philippe Krakowsky succeeded Roth as CEO of IPG. Despite stepping down as CEO, Roth has taken on the role of executive chairman and has announced that he will retire from advertising after serving as executive chairman for one year. His retirement from the industry will mark the end of a long career at IPG.
Roth holds a J.D. degree from Boston University Law School and an L.L.M. from New York University Law School. He is also a certified public accountant. Throughout his time at IPG, Roth has been a member of the company's board.
As executive chairman, Roth will continue to oversee the operations of IPG in his new role, having already served for one year as of the time of writing. Krakowsky, the new CEO, will lead the company forward in its advertising endeavors.
