Mark Read Poised To Take Top Job At Ad Giant WPP

According to a report by Reuters, Mark Read is poised to take the top job at ad giant WPP, facing the task of reshaping following the departure of high-profile ad-boss Martin Sorrell. The 51 year-old Read, who has experience across strategic and digital operations, is reportedly expected to be named WPP's second-ever CEO, after Sorrell quit the British group in April following a complaint of personal misconduct, which he denied.
