Stagwell’s Crispin Porter Bogusky has announced a new leadership team following the departure of former CEO Marianne Malina in August.

Brad Simms joins as Global CEO overseeing CP+B's operations in North America, the UK and Brazil. Simms will continue his role as CEO of GALE and Chief Product Officer of Stagwell Media Network.

Also part of the new senior team is Josh Braithwaite who has been appointed North American Chief Creative Officer.  And Stefani Chambers joins as Group Strategy Director, North America.

Previously Braithwaite served at Mother New York as group creative director. Chambers previously was founder of boutique agency El Why.

Also CP+B Europe CEO Helen James will take on a wider business development remit globally. CP+B LATAM CEO Vinicius Reis will expand his duties to lead global mergers and acquisitions.

For CP+B it’s the second major management reorganization in about a year and a half. Malina had joined as CEO in April of last year and formed her own team. She left for sibling agency 72andSunny to become president of North America operations.

Installment of the new senior team follows a series of recent client wins for the agency, including Lenovo, Tinder, GoFundMe and Consumer Cellular.
