US Chief Executive Officer and Global Chief Security Officer of Starcom have resigned.

Publicis Media, the global media and marketing solutions company, has announced a significant change in leadership at two of its key agencies, Starcom and Spark Foundry.

Kathy Ring, the CEO of Starcom U.S., and Kathy Kline, the global Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Starcom within Publicis Media, are stepping down from their positions. Their departures mark the end of a long and successful tenure that spans over three decades.

During their time at Starcom, Ring and Kline have made significant contributions to Publicis' success. Their leadership, dedication to clients, and commitment to talent have shaped the agency's growth and performance. Publicis expressed its gratitude towards Ring and Kline for their invaluable contributions during their impressive careers.

The statement from Publicis did not provide any details about the transitional period at Starcom and Spark Foundry, nor did it disclose any plans for the future direction of these agencies. However, it did announce that Chris Boothe, who has previously served as the CEO of Spark Foundry for the past five years, will lead both Starcom and Spark Foundry as CEO during a transitional period.

Boothe's promotion comes after the successor of Kathy Ring as CEO of Starcom U.S. was announced as Jen Rubino. The successor of Kathy Kline as global CSO of Starcom within Publicis Media is Alex Clark. The statement from Publicis did not announce any successors for the roles vacated by Ring and Kline at Starcom.

As for Spark Foundry, the statement from Publicis did not mention any changes in the leadership structure. This suggests that Boothe will continue to lead Spark Foundry as well, in addition to his new role at Starcom.

Publicis Media agency Starcom is losing both its CEO and global CSO, a change that is expected to have a significant impact on the agency. However, the company believes that the contributions of Ring and Kline will continue to shape their success beyond their tenure at Starcom.

In conclusion, Publicis Media is undergoing a transitional period in the leadership of its agencies Starcom and Spark Foundry. The company has promoted Chris Boothe to lead both agencies as CEO, while the successors of Kathy Ring and Kathy Kline at Starcom have been announced. The future direction of these agencies and any plans for Spark Foundry remain unclear at this time.
