LONDON, July 10 (Reuters) - British ad group WPP WPP.L named board member Cindy Rose as its new chief executive on Thursday, handing the top job to a senior executive from Microsoft a day after it downgraded profit forecasts.
Rose has been on the board since 2019 and will take over from outgoing CEO Mark Read on Sept. 1, the company said.
