13845: The Zenith Of Diversity…?

AgencySpy posted that Publicis Groupe’s Zenith and Moxie hired Jennifer Randolph as SVP of Talent, with duties including diversity and inclusion. Looks like “Chief Diversity Officer” roles are becoming even more devalued, as one body can now cover two companies. Based on peeking at the Zenith clan and Moxie crew, Randolph has quite a challenge ahead of her if reducing exclusivity is the true goal. Fortunately, she spent about four years bringing diversity and inclusion to Saatchi & Saatchi, that bastion of equality where “the fucking debate is all over”—at least in terms of diverted diversity.

Zenith U.S. and Moxie hired Jennifer Randolph as senior vice president of talent.

Randolph will report jointly to Zenith U.S. and Moxie CEO Sean Reardon and Publicis Media Americas chief talent officer Barb Jobs.

“At the most basic level, Jennifer gives us a leg up in our constant pursuit to improve the quality of experience for all our employees,” Reardon said in a statement. “She is an authority in talent management, diversity & inclusion, and organizational development, and has applied her acumen and expertise as a consultant, author and speaker. To suggest we are pleased to have Jennifer join our team is an understatement — we are thrilled.”

“I’m delighted to join the Zenith organization, and for the chance to work hand-in-hand with the agencies’ incredible leaders and employees on creating the best possible workplace for all,” Randolph added. “Building on Zenith’s industry-leading culture of delivering best-in-class work for its clients, creating an inspiring environment for employees, and fostering Diversity and Inclusion, I look forward to finding ways to enhance the Zenith experience for both current and future Talent.”

Randolph arrives following six years as a private consultant on organizational diversity and inclusion programs, as well as a career coach and author.

She previously served as senior vice president, organizational development and director of diversity for Saatchi & Saatchi.
