Publicis Media has reorganized its U.S. media management team, naming former Dentsu media chief Michael Epstein CEO of Starcom U.S., and promoting several others.

Epstein, who previously was CEO of media brands and product for Dentsu Aegis Network (now Dentsu International), was a long-time Carat executive who rose from Chief Strategy Officer to Chief Client Officer to CEO, before becoming DAN chief.

He previously was a long-time WPP media executive at Mindshare and Ogilvy.

In related moves, Sarah Kramer was named U.S. CEO of Spark Foundry from president and Chief Client and Operation Officer of the agency.

She succeeds Chris Boothe, who was promoted to COO of Publicis Media U.S.

Danielle Gonzales was promoted to Chief Client Officer of Publicis Media from president and Chief Client Officer of Starcom Worldwide.
