LBi creates first ‘chief people officer’ role
LBi has appointed former Deloitte consultant Sophie Ling to the newly created role of chief people officer.
Ling is responsible for redeveloping the agency’s employee offering and launching a culture and talent engagement programme, reporting to CEO Anil Pillai.
She will build on existing cultural initiatives including LBi’s well-known annual rave and Summer of Love, which in which employees were granted two hours off each Friday throughout last summer.
The move is aimed at helping retain core talent within the agency.
