Yes, I know. There are too may CxO titles floating around the business world -- but that shouldn't detract from the fact that people promoted to these newly created positions don't deserve to be there. And Tamara Ingram is one such person.

Over the years, Ingram has served as UK WPP Group CEO for Grey Worldwide as well as CEO of WPP's Team Procter & Gamble. Before Grey, she was president of WPP's Kantar, parent to Henley Center, Added Value and Fusion5. And before that she was CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi and McCann-Erikson in the UK. 

As well as taking on new responsibilities overseeing the holding company's global accounts, Ingram will continue as CEO of Team P&G across WPP's network, and will remain based at Grey's New York HQ. 

Of Ingram's appointment, WPP CEO Martin Sorrell said, "There are few people who understand the requirements of global client management better than Tamara."
