Stagwell agency GALE has named Andrew Noel as its new global chief executive officer (CEO) and Sophia Zhang as its North America CEO, it exclusively shared with ADWEEK.
The longtime execs succeed founder and CEO Brad Simms, who informed GALE’s staff last month that he will retire. The transition is effective immediately.
Simms founded GALE in 2014 and has expanded the agency to offer full-service capabilities across creative, digital, PR, data, technology, and media. He most recently held a dual role as CEO of fellow Stagwell agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky since 2022, coming on to lead a revival after a period of account losses and leadership changes.
