Devika Bulchandani is an Indian-born advertising executive based in New York who has been Chief Operating Officer of WPP, the London-listed advertising and marketing services group, since September 2025. She was previously Global Chief Executive Officer of Ogilvy, WPP's creative agency network, from September 2022 to September 2025. On her appointment, the Indian press and her own employer described Bulchandani as the first woman of colour to run a global agency network.[1][2]

Born in Amritsar and educated at Welham Girls' School in Dehradun, St. Xavier's College in Mumbai and the University of Southern California, Bulchandani moved to New York in the early 1990s. She entered advertising in 1995 and joined the strategy department of McCann New York in 1997. Over 26 years at McCann, Bulchandani worked on Mastercard's "Priceless" campaign, co-founded the agency's dedicated Mastercard unit, McCann XBC, and became president of McCann New York and then President of North America for McCann Worldgroup.[3][4] Bulchandani was closely associated with the 2017 "Fearless Girl" statue placed opposite the Charging Bull in Lower Manhattan, and with Mastercard's 2019 "True Name" feature for transgender and non-binary cardholders.[5]

Bulchandani moved to Ogilvy in early 2021 as CEO of its North American business and Global Chairwoman of Advertising, became Global President in January 2022, and succeeded Andy Main as Global CEO on September 7, 2022.[3][6][5] During Bulchandani's tenure WPP's results filings repeatedly cited the network as one of its growing businesses, helped by account wins including Verizon and SC Johnson, and the network was ranked first on both WARC's Creative 100 and Effective 100 lists from 2023 to 2025.[7][8] In September 2024 WPP acquired the London agency New Commercial Arts and placed it in the Ogilvy network under her leadership.[9]

On September 5, 2025, four days after Cindy Rose became WPP's chief executive, WPP named Bulchandani Chief Operating Officer, with responsibility for commercialising services across the group, and appointed Laurent Ezekiel to succeed her.[10][11] As of November 2026 Bulchandani holds that role and sits on WPP's Executive Committee, where she has had a central role in "Elevate28", the restructuring plan that WPP announced in February 2026 to turn the group into a single company with four operating units.[12][13][14]

Early life and education

Bulchandani was born in Amritsar, in the Indian state of Punjab, and lived there until she was 10 years old.[4][1] She comes from a large Punjabi family and is one of four siblings;[15] she has two older brothers and a younger sister, the Bollywood cinematographer Priya Seth.[4] In a 2021 interview with Vogue India she recalled trying to keep up with her brothers as a child, climbing trees and riding bicycles that were too big for her. She also remembered watching American television shows whose characters were tired at the end of a working day, and wanting "that feeling of being tired".[4]

Bulchandani described her family as "very loving, supportive" but "patriarchal", saying: "The drive came because we grew up in a family where girls didn't get anything, they were supposed to get married. We (Priya and I) had to pave our own way." She said her parents nonetheless taught their daughters that they could do anything, and that from a young age she wanted her own identity and financial independence.[4]

Bulchandani attended Welham Girls' School, a girls' boarding school in Dehradun. She then spent three years at St. Xavier's College in Mumbai, where she studied English and Psychology.[4][16] She completed a master's degree in communications at the University of Southern California in 1991.[4][1] In September 2022 Forbes India gave her age as 53; Vogue India had given it as 52 in April 2021.[1][4]

Career

Entry into advertising (1993 to 1997)

Two years after finishing her master's degree, Bulchandani married and moved to the United States.[4] She and her husband, Ashwin, lived in a small studio apartment in New York City. Her first job there was at a copy centre, and she later recalled how pleased she had been to earn $7 an hour.[4] Bulchandani had told herself she would never work at an advertising agency. "I wanted to do something that had a positive impact," she told Vogue India, and the industry did not seem to offer that.[4]

An alumnus of her graduate school who worked at Anderson and Lembke, a small agency, talked her into trying advertising. Bulchandani worked there unpaid for three months, then accepted an $18,000 job in the account planning group. "No raise, nothing in my life has felt as good," she said.[4] Vogue India and Forbes India date the start of her advertising career to 1995.[1][4]

Bulchandani later described herself as a "fresh off the boat" immigrant in those years: "I didn't understand American culture, so I was at a disadvantage. I didn't worry about me being different, I worried about me not knowing anything. Advertising is very social, I didn't feel like I belonged for the longest time."[4]

McCann (1997 to 2020)

Bulchandani joined the strategy department of McCann New York in 1997.[3][4] She worked on the Mastercard account and, according to Ogilvy, "played a key role in transforming 'Priceless,' the Mastercard advertising concept into a global business platform encompassing a wide range of digital and experiential marketing programs".[3] She co-founded McCann XBC, the McCann unit dedicated to Mastercard, and became its president.[3] She also worked for clients of McCann including Kraft and Unilever.[4][16]

Bulchandani credited Harris Diamond, a former McCann chief executive, with moving her out of strategy and into general management. "Every 18 months he would keep promoting me," she told Vogue India. She also named Rob Reilly, McCann's former global creative chairman, as a mentor, saying: "I always say there were two white men who made me who I am, because the last seven years were critical. If I had not been moved out of strategy, I would never have been where I am today." She named Nina DiSesa, a former McCann chief creative officer, as a third influence.[4]

Bulchandani later became President of McCann New York, the network's lead office. Her later employer's account of her career says the office grew and won creative, effectiveness and innovation awards under her leadership. The same account says McCann New York won 100 Cannes Lions over four years and was the second most awarded agency in the world in 2019, and that McCann was named the most creatively effective agency network in the United States by the Effie Awards in 2019.[3] Campaign named her US Advertising Agency Head of the Year in 2019.[3]

Two campaigns from this period became closely linked to her name. In 2017 McCann New York created "Fearless Girl", a bronze statue of a young girl with her hands on her hips, placed facing the Charging Bull near the New York Stock Exchange to draw attention to gender diversity in the workplace.[4][1] Bulchandani's later employer said she "helped launch" the work and that it became one of the most awarded campaigns in the history of the Cannes Lions festival.[5] In 2019 Mastercard introduced "True Name", a feature that let transgender and non-binary people display their chosen name on their Mastercard. Bulchandani was described as the "driving force" behind it.[5] Looking back in 2021, Bulchandani said: "Over the last seven years I've done a ton of work, be it with gender equality, LGBTQ rights, transgender issues, or the climate. We create culture, we create or break stereotypes."[4]

In December 2019 Bulchandani was appointed President of North America for McCann Worldgroup, the last role she held at the company.[3] Bulchandani left McCann in 2020 after 26 years with the group.[5][17]

Ogilvy North America and Global President (2020 to 2022)

On November 19, 2020, Ogilvy announced that Bulchandani would become CEO of Ogilvy North America and Global Chairwoman of Advertising. Bulchandani was given responsibility for the agency's business in the United States and Canada, covering advertising, brand and content, public relations and influence, experience, growth and innovation, and health, and for supporting the network's advertising business worldwide.[3] Bulchandani reported to Andy Main, who had been global CEO since June 2020.[17] Main said she was "a leader with relentless drive" and "an undeniable track record of using creativity as a catalyst for growth".[3] Creative Salon later reported that Bulchandani started in the job in March 2021.[18]

Bulchandani took up the job during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021 she told Vogue India that her working days often began with calls at 6:30 a.m. and ran until 10 p.m. "People talk about working from home, I've been saying we live at work now," she said.[4]

On January 25, 2022, Bulchandani was promoted to Global President of The Ogilvy Group. The role widened her responsibilities to all five of the network's business units (advertising, PR, experience, health, and growth and innovation), while she kept her post as CEO of North America.[6] Main said the promotion recognised "the dynamic partnership we developed over the past year as we've modernized Ogilvy's offering, invested in talent, and delivered for our clients."[6] Over the previous 12 months the network had won global assignments from Absolut, Enterprise Holdings, Zippo, James Hardie and World of Hyatt, North American business from TD Bank, FEMA and the New York Philharmonic, and had been part of the WPP team named The Coca-Cola Company's global marketing network partner.[6]

In June 2022 the network was named Network of the Year at the Cannes Lions festival, its first time since 2016, with 88 Lions. As Global President, Bulchandani said the award was "a testament to Ogilvy's ability to lead the way in a world where creativity is needed more than ever."[19][5]

Global Chief Executive Officer of Ogilvy (2022 to 2025)

On September 7, 2022, Bulchandani was appointed Global Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Main, who stayed on as a senior advisor until the end of the year. Bulchandani became responsible for a network of 131 offices in 93 countries, spanning advertising, public relations, experience, consulting and health, and joined WPP's Executive Committee.[5] WPP chief executive Mark Read called her "a champion of creativity who brings passion, purpose, and an uncompromising focus on generating impact to everything she does", and said that, in partnership with Main and global chief creative officer Liz Taylor, she had been "instrumental in Ogilvy's recent growth and development".[5] WPP listed Bulchandani's promotion among the leadership changes of the quarter in its third-quarter 2022 trading update.[20]

In an August 2022 interview with Ad Age, given shortly before her appointment, Bulchandani said that when she arrived, search consultants told her "Ogilvy was on mute. We just didn't hear from them." She said the agency had since rebuilt its business development and new business teams and its outreach to consultants, and was "showing up in more and more pitches". Bulchandani said advertising made up 60 percent of the agency's revenue but that its PR, health and consulting units were growing significantly, and that she planned to make those capabilities work together while growing each of them.[17]

Bulchandani's first years as CEO coincided with new business wins. WPP's 2023 interim and full-year results credited the network's growth to wins including Verizon and SC Johnson, and its third-quarter 2023 update cited "Verizon B2B".[21][22][7] Creative Salon described Verizon as one of the largest account wins of the previous decade, and reported that the network also won Jameson's global creative account.[18]

In April 2024 Bulchandani appointed Antonis Kocheilas, the network's CEO of advertising, as global chief transformation officer.[23] In September 2024 Bulchandani promoted Fiona Gordon, CEO of Ogilvy UK, to Global CEO of Advertising, reporting to her, as part of the New Commercial Arts acquisition (see below).[24] Bulchandani told Creative Salon that the moves were part of a wider reshuffle of her senior team: "I was making a lot of moves in our senior ranks, starting with Antonis (Kocheilas)... I needed more senior people in the global ranks."[18]

In May 2025 WPP moved its Grey agency into the Ogilvy network as part of a strategic realignment.[8] By the time Bulchandani left the post, the group also included the creative agencies DAVID, INGO, NCA, Thjnk and Village Marketing.[8]

Chief Operating Officer of WPP (2025 to present)

Cindy Rose took over from Read as WPP's chief executive on September 1, 2025. On September 5 she appointed Bulchandani Chief Operating Officer of WPP and named Laurent Ezekiel, who had led WPP Open X, the group's dedicated team for The Coca-Cola Company, as Global CEO of the Ogilvy Group.[11][10] WPP said Bulchandani would be "responsible for commercialising services and solutions across WPP in a seamless, frictionless way to drive intelligent growth for WPP's clients worldwide."[10] Trade coverage reported that Bulchandani's remit included WPP's country managers, global growth teams and global client leaders.[25] WPP's long-serving chief operating officer, Andrew Scott, retired from that role and from the board on December 31, 2025.[26]

Rose said Bulchandani's "deep obsession with helping our clients grow and win, will help us accelerate our growth across the entire WPP landscape."[10] Bulchandani said of leaving the agency: "I have been the luckiest person in the world, to have the best job in the world as Ogilvy's CEO, and I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved together as a team."[10]

Bulchandani took the post at a difficult time for the group. WPP's 2025 revenue fell 8.1 percent to £13.55 billion, a like-for-like decline of 3.6 percent.[13] In January 2026 WPP created a Client Solution Architects Group, a strategic function combining technology, media, data and marketing capabilities to serve its largest clients. Co-led by Alex Hesz, Antonis Kocheilas and Ben Kay, the group reports to Bulchandani.[13] On February 26, 2026, WPP announced Elevate28, a multi-year plan to move "from a holding company structure to a single company" with four operating units (WPP Media, WPP Creative, WPP Production and WPP Enterprise Solutions) across four regions. The plan was backed by £500 million of targeted gross annualised cost savings.[13]

In May 2026 WPP appointed Toby Jenner of WPP Media and Philip Heimann of Ogilvy as Global Presidents of Client Growth. Both joined the Executive Committee and report to Bulchandani, with responsibility for carrying out WPP's integrated growth strategy alongside its new business teams.[27] WPP's 2025 annual report, published in March 2026, lists Bulchandani as Chief Operating Officer on the Executive Committee, and notes that the chief operating officer is based in the United States under the group's new leadership structure.[26] WPP's executive committee page still listed Bulchandani in the role in November 2026.[12]

In a June 2026 interview with BW Marketing World, Bulchandani said that when Rose first offered her the job she had replied, "I do not do real estate or facilities management. Operations is not my superpower," and that Rose answered: "Clients are your superpower, and I want to change this company and its operations through the lens of clients."[14] Bulchandani described her team as "the critical enabler" connecting the four operating units, and said Elevate28 differed from WPP's earlier talk of integration because "we did very little to make it operational" before: "This time, we are changing the structure of the company to deliver it. It is the difference between aspiration and action." Bulchandani acknowledged that "clients have told us that WPP can be complicated", and said the group had changed its incentive structure to reward collaboration between agencies.[14]

Leadership and management style

Bulchandani has described herself as "a planner by trade", a reference to her years in account planning and strategy.[18] Bulchandani told Creative Salon that she tries to "touch" three clients a day, and that what drew her to the founders of New Commercial Arts was that James Murphy's first question to her was which clients he needed to watch out for.[18] In 2026 Bulchandani said: "what drives me is people. I prefer relationships to transactions," and linked this to "my immigrant roots and... a culture built on deep relationships and webs of family."[14]

Bulchandani's early months in the North American job focused on how the agency was seen by search consultants and in pitches. In her Ad Age interview Bulchandani described rebuilding the new business operation and moving the agency towards integrated solutions: "The reality of our business and what clients want today is they don't want a silo. They don't want [just] advertising, they want a solution." She said the leadership team was "pretty much here" and that "what we've got to do is institutionalize it".[17]

Bulchandani worked in a partnership with the network's global chief creative officer, Liz Taylor, and announcements of awards and appointments during Bulchandani's tenure generally carried statements from both.[19][24] In 2024 Bulchandani spoke of the need for the agency to change while it was performing well: "when we know we're ahead and our foundations are very strong, it becomes the time to disrupt ourselves." She also said she had no wish to rebrand the network: "It was Ogilvy before I came, and it's going to be Ogilvy when I'm gone."[18]

Bulchandani has spoken about gender and leadership. In 2021 she recalled a boss telling her she was too aggressive, and replying: "you're telling me it's a problem but would you tell a man? You would say he's a winner." She said the boss accepted the point.[4] On the New York Women in Communications podcast WomenHeard in 2023, Bulchandani talked about being the first woman of colour to run a global agency network and about being a "radiator" of energy while protecting time to recover.[2]

As WPP's chief operating officer Bulchandani has said that the move made her rethink how she uses her own judgement: "In the creative vertical, experience allowed me to reach an answer very quickly. Now, when instinct tells me something, I have to ask myself whether I know enough about the other disciplines. I have to be more of a student before I allow intuition to guide me fully."[14] Bulchandani has also said that leaders "cannot change culture by putting an Elevate 28 slide on a screen. You have to be in it with the people."[14]

Major deals and strategic decisions

New Commercial Arts (2024). On September 10, 2024, WPP announced that it had acquired New Commercial Arts (NCA), an independent London creative and customer experience agency founded in 2020 by a team including James Murphy and David Golding, who had earlier founded Adam&Eve. NCA employed about 90 people in London and Glasgow and was placed within the Ogilvy network. The network's UK business and NCA were put under Murphy as CEO of Ogilvy Group UK, and Fiona Gordon was promoted to Global CEO of Advertising, reporting to Bulchandani. No price was disclosed in the announcement.[9][28] Bulchandani said the founders had "deliberately chose[n] the word commercial because growing our clients' brands and businesses is core to what our industry does", linking it to David Ogilvy's phrase "We Sell, Or Else".[9] Bulchandani credited Read with doing the deal on the network's behalf, and said NCA would remain a standalone brand. She said a rebrand of the UK agency had been discussed "for about 10 seconds", and that she was not in a rush to build a network of smaller agencies, though she saw a gap for one in Asia Pacific.[18]

Senior appointments (2024). The appointments of Kocheilas as global chief transformation officer in April 2024 and of Gordon as Global CEO of Advertising in September 2024 reorganised the network's global leadership. Bulchandani said Kocheilas, working with Ogilvy Consulting, would "ensure that Ogilvy is an indispensable business partner to our clients".[23][24]

WPP integration (2025 to 2026). As chief operating officer Bulchandani leads functions designed to sell WPP as a single offer to its largest clients: the Client Solution Architects Group, created in January 2026, and the Global Presidents of Client Growth, appointed in May 2026.[13][27] In her June 2026 interview Bulchandani gave examples of business won or expanded across agencies under the new model, including Mastercard, Henkel, Wendy's, Kenvue and Heineken, and said "we would not have won those mandates with a single agency".[14]

Financial and market performance

WPP does not report Ogilvy's revenue or profit separately, but its trading updates commented on the network's performance during Bulchandani's tenure as its chief executive. In its 2023 interim results WPP said "Ogilvy grew well, supported by recent new business wins including Verizon and SC Johnson".[21] Its 2023 full-year results said those wins "contributed to mid-single digit growth" at the network, which also grew in the United Kingdom.[7] Creative Salon reported that Read cited Ogilvy's "creative rejuvenation" under Bulchandani on the October 2023 third-quarter earnings call as driving growth of 3 to 4 percent.[18] In its 2024 interim results WPP named the network, with GroupM and Hogarth, as one of its growing businesses, again citing new business wins including Verizon.[29]

Conditions became harder in 2025. WPP's first-quarter 2025 update said its other integrated agencies had been affected by "tough comparisons at Ogilvy".[30] In its 2025 annual report WPP recorded goodwill impairment charges of £641 million, "primarily relating to Ogilvy and AKQA".[26]

On industry rankings, WARC placed the network first on both its Creative 100 and Effective 100 lists in 2023 and 2024, and WPP's first-quarter 2025 update reported it as the top agency network on the Effective 100 for the third year and first on the Creative 100.[31][30] WPP's own description of Bulchandani's tenure stated that the network became the first agency network to be named both most creative and most effective for three consecutive years, from 2023 to 2025.[10] The network was also named Network of the Year at Cannes Lions in 2022 and 2024.[19][9]

Board memberships and outside roles

As of September 2022 Bulchandani served on the board of the ERA Coalition, which campaigns for the Equal Rights Amendment, and on the boards of the Ad Council, the 4A's and the Advertising Club of New York. Bulchandani was a founding member of Time's Up Advertising, a group formed to promote equality for women in the industry, particularly women of colour.[5][6] In 2019, to mark International Women's Day, Bulchandani organised a discussion of the pioneering women of Madison Avenue with New York Women in Communications, the American Advertising Federation and Bloomberg Media.[3]

In 2023 Bulchandani launched "Let's Talk", a video interview series with marketing leaders. Its first episode was a conversation with Jill Cress, chief marketing and experience officer of H&R Block, described as her colleague and friend of more than two decades.[32]

Personal life

Bulchandani married Ashwin Bulchandani about two years after finishing her master's degree in 1991, and moved with him to the United States.[4][1] They have two children, a son, Arhaan, and a daughter, Anya.[1] In 2021 Bulchandani lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where she took walks in the afternoons to break up her working day during the pandemic.[4] Bulchandani cooks to relax and told Vogue India that she had perfected 20 Thai dishes, including making curry paste from scratch.[4]

Bulchandani has said that people she met through work have "became like grandparents to my children, or like their masi", and that "my lines between work and home can be blurred, which sometimes feels unusual in America".[14] Bulchandani is known in the industry as "Dev".[1][16]
