Omnicom has elevated Christine Gambino to Chief Executive Officer of its Omni platform, effective immediately. She has succeeded Duncan Painter, who has stepped down to pursue a senior executive opportunity in the United Kingdom.
Gambino has previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Omni, where she has overseen operations for a team of more than 1,000 product and technology professionals working on the company’s marketing and sales intelligence platform. In her new role, she has taken charge of advancing the platform’s development and expanding its adoption across teams.
Prior to Omni, Gambino has spent six years at Flywheel, where she has led engineering, product, and data science teams. She has also held roles at Under Armour, UPS, and CasSevern.
Alongside this leadership change, Omnicom Commerce has come under the leadership of Alex McCord, who has continued in his role as CEO of Flywheel. He has taken responsibility for overseeing operations and growth of the commerce division.
Omni and Flywheel have continued to operate as part of Omnicom’s integrated media capabilities.
“It’s an honor to lead Omni at this pivotal moment when the platform is serving as a shared resource for the new Omnicom,” said Christine Gambino. “Duncan has created an exceptional foundation, and I’m grateful for his partnership and leadership as we now accelerate adoption across the organization. I look forward to ensuring teams across every discipline can leverage Omni’s integrated capabilities to deliver measurable impact for clients.”
“I’m proud of how swiftly we launched the next generation of Omni following the Interpublic acquisition, establishing it as a unified asset for the combined group. Christine was central to that effort and brings a deep understanding of the platform to drive Omni to its next phase,” said Duncan Painter. “Additionally, Alex has been instrumental in shaping Flywheel into an industry leader and brings deep commerce expertise to strengthen Omnicom Commerce. I have complete confidence in both of them to accelerate impact across Omnicom as I move into my next chapter in the UK, where I’ll be closer to my family.”
