New global JWT CEO sets out diversity and change agenda during first public appearance

‘Diversity and inclusion top of agenda’: Ingram

The new global CEO of ad agency J. Walter Thompson Tamara Ingram has said “diversity and inclusion are at the top of my agenda”.

The pronouncement came this week from the new head of the WPP-owned global network, which is fighting a lawsuit from its own comms chief who claims its former CEO Gustavo Martinez used racist and sexually abusive language at work.

Speaking at the launch of JWT’s Her Story documentary in London this week Ingram said: “Top of my agenda is diversity and inclusiveness. Not only is it going to be top of my agenda, it’s going to be top of all my executives’ agendas and top of every country manager’s agenda.”
