IF Formula referencing one column to fill in another

Hi - I've been reading through the community posts and trying a variety of answers, but nothing I've tried seems to be working so I thought I'd post and ask for help.:)

I am trying to establish a column that has an answer based on another cell. My columns:

Dept

Automation Lead

So what I'm trying to create:

IF Dept = Global, then Automation Lead = Global

IF Dept = Anything else, then Automation Lead = Taylor Freeman

The Dept column is formatted as a drop down list; the Automation lead column is formatted as a Contact column if that matters.

Would really appreciate any help.

Thanks!
