Nancy Hill: 'It's Time To Have a Different Set of Skills at the Top'
Posted in: Uncategorized
After nine years at the helm, Nancy Hill will step down from her role of 4A’s President-CEO by June 2017. Ms. Hill, the first woman chief executive for the association, talks to Ad Age about her forthcoming departure, future plans and proudest moments.
Why did you decide next summer was the right time to leave?
Ms. Hill: Originally when I met with the selection committee, I told them that I felt the right amount of time was between five and seven years, and it’s going to be nine, which is longer than expected. I think with the pace of change in the industry, it’s important that the people leading this organization recently have been in an agency. The change in the industry has been so dramatic, and I think it’s time to have a different set of skills at the top. We made the announcement now because we’re starting a search process and it took 18 months the last time around.
