Publicis Groupe has elevated Geraldine White to chief diversity officer. She replaces Ronnie Dickerson Stewart who left the company earlier this year.

In her new role, she is tasked with leading all U.S. DE&I work with a focus on elevating talent experiences, improving systems, policies and practices and enabling an inclusive environment.

White is reporting to Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner, member of the directoire and secretary general, with additional reporting lines to Andrew Swinand, CEO of Publicis Creative and Leo Burnett Group and U.S. executive sponsor for DEI.
