McCann Worldgroup has promoted Devika Bulchandani to President of McCann North America. She has been President of McCann New York and retains that office leadership role while broadening her responsibilities across the U.S. and Canada. 

“Devika has demonstrated in her New York leadership role that she has the vision and energy to drive multiplatform growth and creativity on behalf of our mix of global, regional and local clients,” stated Harris Diamond, Chairman & CEO of McCann Worldgroup. 

Bulchandani’s expanded role will include leading McCann ad agency offices in Detroit, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Casanova//McCann in Los Angeles as well as McCann Worldgroup Canada, which includes offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.  

Bulchandani, who first joined McCann in 1997, was promoted from managing director to president of McCann New York in 2017. A strategist who rose to become Chief Strategy Officer of McCann New York in 2005, she became one of the founders in 2012 of McCann XBC, the agency’s dedicated Mastercard unit, and was named its President in 2014.
