I am the global CEO of McCann Worldgroup, the global creative solutions network of Interpublic Group (IPG) comprised of best-in-class agency brands McCann, MRM, Craft, and FutureBrand. Prior to returning to McCann Worldgroup, I served as global CEO of IPG Mediabrands, the global media solutions network of IPG for several years. I believe that creativity is more essential than ever in the world today, especially in building brands and business. I believe that creativity does not sit in a department, or an agency, but is instead the connective tissue between people who strive to solve human problems by tapping into the collective power of the imagination to shape new worlds and behaviors, I am committed to McCann playing a meaningful role in the world by championing truth and its power to accelerate creativity. I am fiercely proud of the McCann Worldgroup community for practising conscious inclusion and equity in everything we do. I believe that collaboration is the highest form of the art of business, and that the best ideas defy the boring classification of "creative" and "media" and emerge instead from the desire of intrepid teams of people to create the new and make it real in the world.
