Kristen Cavallo
The parent company of Richmond-based The Martin Agency has named a new chief executive officer as the agency deals with an accusation of sexual harassment by its former chief creative officer.
New York-based Interpublic Group of Cos. announced Tuesday that Kristen Cavallo is the new CEO of The Martin Agency, effective immediately.
She replaces Matt Williams, who had been the CEO of The Martin Agency since 2013 and is a 26-year veteran of the agency.
Cavallo previously spent 13 years at The Martin Agency, rising from strategic planning director to the role of senior vice president of business development. She left Richmond in 2014 to go to Boston to become president of MullenLowe Group, another Interpublic Group agency.
