Ailing WPP appoints Rose from Microsoft as new boss

Rose, who is Microsoft's chief operating officer for global enterprise and a former head of its European and UK businesses, will take over from Mark Read on 1 September.

Under Read, WPP's market value has slumped by two-thirds and its share price is at a 16-year low, as the company has struggled against the rise of AI tech that helps companies automate the creation of adverts. It has also struggled to stem a string of big client losses to rivals, most notably French group Publicis.
