DDB Chicago is saying farewell to its top new business executive, according to AdAge. Nancy Leibig, who has been with DDB since January 2007, was once the business development golden girl at Draftfcb.

Despite the much-publicized struggles DDB Chicago has recently faced, company sources attribute Leibig’s departure to DDB’s “restructuring [of] its business development function.”

AgencySpy has also heard that DDB’s Chicago office has hired a new Chief Creative Officer, though calls to confirm the rumor were not returned. The Chicago office has been without a CCO since the tragic death of creative head Paul Tilley in 2008.
