Mendonça describes “a new marketing operating model that is more effective and efficient”: “We’re doing a lot of kind of one day design and activation workshops with clients where we’re really ripping up the rule book.”
Until January 2018, Mendonca was President of OMD EMEA, were she was responsible for the financial and operational performance of all OMD offices across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
