She joined IPG in 2000 and previously held roles including CFO of IPG Mediabrands, senior vice president of finance and treasurer, senior vice president and treasurer, and assistant treasurer, international.

Before that, he spent 18 years in IBM’s legal department, most recently as vice president, assistant general counsel and secretary.
