New CEO of DDB Worldwide |
At DDB, Wendy is responsible for overseeing the operations of the network’s more than 200 offices in over 100 countries and its partner companies.
Wendy first joined DDB in January 2016 as CEO of DDB North America, leading the region’s 18 offices and approximately 2,000 people across the US and Canada.
In her first year with DDB, Wendy launched DDB Flex, the bespoke cross-agency model customised for DDB/NA’s clients’ businesses, hired the region’s first-ever CCO, and helped land 53 new business wins, including the U.S. McDonald’s business, the biggest win of the last decade for DDB/NA, which required launching “We Are Unlimited,” the new agency servicing the business.
"After 12 terrific years as the head of DDB, I am excited to hand the baton to Wendy," said Chuck Brymer, chairman of DDB Worldwide.
"She is passionate about our business and clients, and has proven to be an inspiring leader for our company. I look forward to helping Wendy continue to foster an environment where our people can do their best work."
