WPP Hires Mark Taylor as Chief People Officer
WPP has appointed Mark Taylor as its new chief people officer. Taylor joins from Lego, where he was chief people advisor from 2017–2024 and later worked as an independent people consultant.

WPP CEO Cindy Rose said Taylor will sit on the executive committee and lead talent strategy to support the company’s three-year "Elevate 28" turnaround plan.
