Louise Clements has been appointed Group Lead for ICF Olson, the agency division of marketing and technology consultant ICF International. She's also been named an EVP at the parent company.

Previously, Clements was president of the North America East division of Interpublic’s MRM/McCann, part of McCann Worldgroup.

Last month, ICF consolidated its agency operations under the newly formed ICF Olson division after having acquired independent agency Olson in October of 2014. Other agencies brought into the new unit include Ironworks, Citytech and Mostra.

Clements essentially replaces former Olson CEO John Partilla, who left for Screenvision last fall to become CEO.

Clements is a 26-year industry veteran. Prior to running MRM/McCann’s NA East division, she was president of sibling Canadian agency MacLaren/MRM. Earlier, she launched the Facebook advertising team in Canada.

“Growth-minded and strategic, Louise understands the market and how to integrate creativity, media, technology and data to create a full customer experience for clients,” stated ICF International Chairman and CEO Sudhaker Kesavan.
