A Broader Mandate Across WPP's Agencies
Bhatt shared the news of his expanded role through a LinkedIn post. Over the past five years as CFO of WPP Media, he wrote that he had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional executive team and talented people across the business, adding that he was proud of what the team had achieved together in driving growth, shaping the business for the future and creating value for clients.
He said he was genuinely excited to take on this broader responsibility across WPP while continuing in his role as CFO of WPP Media, and was looking forward to working more closely with agencies and leadership teams across the wider business.
Holding Both Roles At Once

The dual mandate reflects a push toward tighter financial coordination across WPP's stable of agencies in the market.
