Publicis-owned media agency Zenith has unveiled a new-look leadership team following the departure of chief executive Natalie Cummins to an as yet undisclosed rival agency.
Joint managing directors Sannah Rogers and Jon Stevens will now step up to lead the media firm, while retaining their respective operations and client services remits.
According to Campaign, Publicis currently has no plans to name a new CEO to succeed Cummins, with Rogers and Stevens instead reporting into to the network’s UK CEO Niel Bornman.

“Both Sannah and Jon are highly respected and talented leaders, who’ve been pivotal in driving growth and success for our clients over many years,” Bornman said.
“They have a deep understanding of our business, our clients and capabilities, so this decision was a no-brainer and provides the best continuity for our clients and our people. Nat leaves us with our heartfelt thanks for her energy and dedication over the years, and we wish her lots of luck for her next move.”
Having spent the bast part of the last two decades at Zenith in a variety of roles, Cummins’ new destination is due to be announced at some points later this year.
