Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide chairman Shelly Lazarus has been working, as she would say, ‘In the business I love,’ for more than three decades, almost all of that time at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide.

Joining the organisation at the tail end of the fabled Mad Men era in advertising on Madison Avenue, New York and rising through the ranks of account service, Shelly has held positions of increasing responsibility in the management of the company, including president of O&M Direct North America and Ogilvy & Mather New York; chief operating officer of Ogilvy North America; and CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide.
