Doug Ray, Will Swayne Take New Posts At Carat

 Will Swayne (l.) and Doug Ray

  Carat is reshuffling leadership as it charts growth in the U.S. and abroad.

Doug Ray, global president and U.S. CEO, will cede his global president role to Will Swayne and focus solely on managing and growing the U.S. business. Mr. Swayne, who has been serving as global client president, leading the shop's P&G business, will now take on broader global duties.
The move comes on the heels of the Procter & Gamble media agency shift earlier this month in which Carat won about one-third of the account and Omnicom Group took the rest.
While P&G is not the sole reason for the change, the timing of this latest Carat announcement is in line with the culmination of the review, said Rob Horler, CEO of parent network DentsuAegis in North America. Mr. Swayne had led the pitch while serving as chief client officer on the P&G business that Carat already held. The shop has a new P&G lead in the U.S. but declined to disclose the name at this time.

His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
