Phil Angelastro

Operator

Phil Angelastro is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Omnicom Group, one of the world's largest holding companies in advertising, marketing, and corporate communications. He is best known for his steady stewardship of Omnicom's financial operations and his central role in structuring the proposed acquisition of Interpublic Group (IPG), a deal that, if completed, would create the largest advertising holding company in the world and reshape the competitive landscape of global marketing services. Angelastro has served as CFO of Omnicom for over a decade, having been appointed to the role in 2014. In that capacity, he has overseen financial reporting, capital allocation, investor relations, and M&A strategy for a company generating revenues in excess of $14 billion annually. His tenure has been marked by disciplined financial management, consistent shareholder returns, and strategic bolt-on acquisitions that have strengthened Omnicom's capabilities in data, technology, and precision marketing. His experience navigating complex, large-scale transactions made him a central figure in the Interpublic deal negotiations. Within the AdTech and broader marketing services ecosystem, Angelastro is regarded as a sophisticated operator who understands both the financial mechanics and strategic imperatives of the industry's ongoing transformation. As agencies face pressure from consultancies, in-house marketing teams, and technology platforms, his financial leadership has helped Omnicom invest in data-driven capabilities and maintain competitive positioning. His role in the post-acquisition leadership structure underscores his importance to Omnicom's long-term strategy.
