Ogilvy PR has unveiled a new leadership structure, marked by several promotions and new hires. The reshuffle comes as Jacquie Potter, currently Group MD of Ogilvy PR's corporate and business practice, prepares to leave the company to join the agency's client ALDI as Director of Communications.

In the wake of Potter's departure, Ant Kelaher has been promoted to Group MD of Corporate at Ogilvy PR. Brian Corrigan has been elevated to Editor-in-Chief, with a focus on corporate and business content and leading the Business Influence team.

Potter's departure, set for the end of March, will conclude nearly 18 years of service at Ogilvy PR. Her move to ALDI Australia will see her transition from colleague to client, a change that Richard Brett, CEO of Ogilvy PR and Ogilvy Health, describes as 'bittersweet'.

Brett said: "Jacquie has been an incredibly valuable member of our team, being one of our most senior leaders. Her professional approach, strategic vision and leadership abilities will be missed across the business. It feels somewhat bittersweet – while we’ll be farewelling her as a colleague, we will then welcome her as a client. It is a fantastic opportunity for her and she goes with our full blessing."

New hires include Frances Dwyer, formerly of Edelman, who joins as Head of Corporate, and Mitch Henderson, who starts as Senior Business Director at Ogilvy PR, having previously worked at Meta and Teneo in London.

Luis Garcia returns to investor relations and financial communications consultancy Cannings (part of Ogilvy PR) as Senior Corporate Counsel. Amy Piek has been promoted to Managing Partner at Cannings, and Will Roberts moves to Senior Business Director.

Potter said: "I am very sad to be leaving Ogilvy PR after 18 years, but also excited about this new opportunity and I can’t wait to work with the ALDI communications team, and my colleagues at Ogilvy PR. I feel very grateful to have built a career in such a supportive and inclusive environment, surrounded by brilliant people and great clients."
