Christian Rätsch replaces Larissa Pohl on WOB supervisory board
At the Viernheim-based agency WOB, there is a change in the supervisory board. After three years, WPP manager and GWA President Larissa Pohl is leaving the board at her own request. Her successor is former BBDO CEO Christian Rätsch. The former agency manager, who before his time at the helm of BBDO Germany was responsible for the Publicis subsidiaries Saatchi & Saatchi, will join the committee. This move reflects a common practice in the German agency landscape of bringing experienced industry figures into advisory roles.
This is a routine supervisory board change at a mid-sized German agency, of limited impact to the broader AdTech/MarTech industry.
