Donny Deutsch--the CNBC talk show host and colorful head of Deutsch Inc., the agency his father founded, which he sold to Interpublic Group--Friday unveiled a succession plan for the agency. Deutsch
said he was relinquishing his role as CEO, and that Linda Sawyer would assume that post from managing partner and COO. As part of the restructuring, two co-presidents were named in Deutsch's New York
and Los Angeles offices. Kathy Delaney and Val DiFebo were named co-presidents of Deutsch New York; while Eric Hirshberg and Mike Sheldon were named co-presidents of Deutsch LA. The agency expects to
name a new COO soon. -- Joe Mandese
