Ellen Cook, 63, former CEO of TPN Holdings (an Omnicom Group affiliate), has filed a federal lawsuit against Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC) alleging gender and age discrimination. Cook, who served as CEO since 2023 before being fired in 2024, claims she was terminated after discovering and questioning a 40% pay disparity with another individual.
The lawsuit alleges a systematic pattern of discrimination at Omnicom, citing that male executive leadership at Omnicom Commerce Group increased from 33% to 75% between 2021 and early 2025. The legal action documents seven other cases of senior female executives being replaced by younger, less experienced male counterparts. Cook's legal team argues this demonstrates a "culture of glass ceiling gender and age discrimination" at Omnicom.
