Ogilvy promoted Tim LeGallo to chief production officer, North America. A new role within the agency, LeGallo will partner closely with chief creative officer Rafael Rizuto to service North American clients and key global accounts.

Previously, LeGallo served as head of production for Ogilvy New York, taking on an expanded role after helping lead the Verizon account as executive director of production. 

A two-year Ogilvy staffer, he joined from McCann, where he was executive vie president, head of production for Team Verizon.

Rafael Rizuto, chief creative officer, Ogilvy North America, sad LeGallo “operates at the absolute highest levels of the discipline, always pushing ideas and opening doors to elevate what’s possible in our work with clients. He epitomizes what it means to be a trusted partner.”

LeGallo’s campaign credits include Verizon’s “Can’t B Broken” Super Bowl collaboration with Beyoncé, Diesel's “Go With the Fake” and “The List” for Citi.

“Production is everything I love – a passion that only expands as the discipline continues to take on new, innovative shapes creatively and in culture. The future of this discipline is incredibly exciting, and I’m here to ensure it becomes just as synonymous with creative excellence as Ogilvy itself,” LeGallo added.
