GroupM CFO Rupert Day promoted to global COO
MUMBAI: GroupM, WPP’s pooled media buying business, has promoted its CFO Rupert Day to global COO.
Aside from his role as operational head of GroupM – which incorporates MindShare, Maxus, Mediaedge:cia and MediaCom – Day’s remit is to develop new business opportunities, acquisitions and joint ventures worldwide.
“Rupert has been the de-facto COO of GroupM for quite some time now while also carrying the heavy responsibilities of chief financial officer,” GroupM CEO Irwin Gotlieb was quoted as saying in a statement. “But it’s simply too much of a load for one person. This move recognizes the great work he’s been doing for us, as well the need for a deeper management structure at GroupM.”
Day, who is based in New York, was named GroupM CFO in 2003 and has worked for more than 10 years at different WPP companies in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America. Day was part of the original management team that launched MindShare globally.
The announcement of Day’s promotion comes alongside the elevation of MindShare North America president and CEO Marc Goldstein to GroupM North America chief executive. Goldstein will share management responsibilities for the parent unit with current GroupM chief investment officer Rino Scanzoni.

Wellbeing Nutrition ropes in Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador
Actor fronts Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione portfolio.
MUMBAI: Malavika Mohanan just became the face of inner glow because when your skincare starts in the bottle instead of the jar, even beauty gets a glow-up from the inside out. Wellbeing Nutrition has appointed acclaimed actor Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador for its premium Korean Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione range. The move signals a deliberate shift in the Indian ingestible beauty segment from surface-level routines to foundation-level nutrition that supports skin health from within.
The campaign positions collagen as the essential “beauty protein” that maintains elasticity and firmness, with daily supplementation reframed as a consistent ritual rather than a quick cosmetic fix. It aims to simplify the science behind collagen and build awareness around long-term skin nourishment.
Wellbeing Nutrition co-founder Saurabh Kapoor said, “In India, collagen is still largely viewed through a cosmetic lens, associated with glow and quick fixes. In reality, it is the primary structural protein of the skin, and we begin losing nearly 1 per cent of it every year in the late 20s. Yet a significant number of consumers remain unaware of its foundational role in long-term skin health. Our goal is to shift the conversation from fixing visible signs to feeding the foundation.”
Malavika Mohanan added, “For me, skincare has always been about consistency and taking care of myself in ways that go beyond just what I apply on my skin. I love the idea of supporting skin health from within, and that’s what drew me to Wellbeing Nutrition’s Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Gluta.”
The Korean Marine Collagen uses nano-hydrolyzed peptides for better bioavailability, while Skin Fuel Glutathione complements the inside-out approach. The portfolio targets structure, brightness and resilience over time, backed by clinical research.
The ambassador announcement kicks off a broader collagen-focused roadmap for the brand, with planned innovations across formats and functional blends.
In an era where beauty routines are getting deeper than skin, Wellbeing Nutrition isn’t just selling supplements, it’s selling the quiet power of feeding your glow from the inside, one daily scoop at a time.
