Dentsu North America Appoints Beth Ann Kaminkow as Their New Chief Executive Officer
Beth Ann Kaminkow is making the leap from VML to Dentsu North America, stepping into the CEO role effective June 16.
Michael Komasinski, previously Dentsu North America CEO, packed his bags in January to take up the reins at Criteo as their new CEO.
Kaminkow has been working her magic as the Global Chief Commerce Officer at VML for the last year, a role she snagged after the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson in 2023. In this position, she's been all about expanding VML's commerce practice globally, working with big-name clients like The Coca-Cola Company, SC Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive, The Ford Motor Company, and Haleon.
Prior to that, Kaminkow reigned as the global CEO at VMLY&R Commerce for four years. She ascended to that position after the WPP commerce agency Geometry, where she held the global CEO role for five years, got folded into VMLY&R.
Kaminkow, a seasoned marketing and advertising pro, previously served as the CEO and President of TracyLocke Agency, a marketing and advertising firm [1]. Before her tenure at Dentsu, she was renowned for her leadership roles, including being the Global Chief Commerce Officer and CEO of New York at VML, highlighting her expertise in commerce and marketing [3].

Before that, she was the global CEO at Geometry, now part of VMLY&R. Upon Kaminkow's arrival at Dentsu, she will take over from Michael Komasinski, who moved to Criteo as their new CEO in January.
