Publicis Spine's chief data officer has succeeded in quitting his post at the fifth attempt after declaring that it would be ‘arrogant’ to assume that only he could lead the team.

Publicis Groupe chief data officer quits for the fifth time

In an email to staff, copied to LinkedIn, Jason Kodish wrote: “So, nearly 13 years…and today is my last day at Digitas…within Publicis. As many of you know, before this latest decision to separate, I have quit four times in the past five years…but I have never left the building.

“I stayed. But now I will stay no longer.”

Fleshing out his rationale for exiting, Kodish added: “Now I am leaving...but I leave knowing that the people…my team…my family will be cared for… It’s too arrogant, even for me, to believe that only I am able to be the one to guide the team.”

Kodish has spent 13 years at Digitas/Publicis undertaking nine different jobs within the company in that time before calling it a day.

Digitas recently dropped the LBi from its name to signify a move closer to Publicis Groupe's media business.
