A three-decade run has come to an end at AKQA Group, as parent company WPP revealed the resignation of CEO Ajaz Ahmed.
Ahmed founded the innovation agency in 1994. AKQA was acquired by WPP in 2012 and placed alongside sister agency Grey within the AKQA Group in 2020.
WPP said it will reveal its plans regarding a successor to Ahmed at a later date, but in the interim, the existing leadership team at AKQA and Grey will lead operations, with WPP chief technology officer Stephan Pretorius to oversee the business as interim chair.
An AKQA spokesperson told ADWEEK that Ahmed was not retiring and would “likely start something new in the coming months.”
