Thomas Lecordier has returned to his old stomping grounds at BCP, but this time to take on the role of EVP. He will be responsible for client services and the integration of the different services within the agency.

Reporting to Publicis Worldwide COO Alain Tadros, the ad veteran will jump into his new position immediately and be tasked with client services and integrating different services into the agency, according to a release.

Lecordier spent nearly 10 years at the shop, which is part of Publicis Worldwide in the previous decade, working in successively senior roles, most recently as associate general manager BCP. In 2010, he ventured across the Atlantic to work at agencies in France, including Leo Burnett, before returning to Canada and joining Ogilvy Montréal, where he took on the newly-created position of VP, strategic planning and integration, this past November.
