Gary Reynolds had been president and CEO and will remain CEO.
Connelly takes the president post from Gary Reynolds, who keeps the title of CEO. Jay Lenstrom moved from the president post in 2002 to become chief marketing officer of Omnicom’s Radiate Group. GMR is part of Radiate.
Connelly had been exec VP-general manager of GMR since July 2002 after 25 years in marketing, sales and operations posts at Miller. Miller is a major client for New Berlin, WI-based GMR, which is owned by Omnicom Group.
As GMR’s general manager, Connelly helped initiate in-depth client/agency reviews, implemented a standardized reporting structure and streamlined operational systems.
“Because he has been on the agency and client sides of our industry, he has a unique combination of business savvy, vision and leadership style that benefits our clients and motivates our employees to do their very best work,” said GMR CEO Gary Reynolds in a statement.
