The WPP High Potential Leader Award identifies “a rising star whose contributions have shaped the fabric of [one’s] office and grown business.” This award is given to only 50 people from a network of over 9000. On Nov 16, 2007, I was the proud recipient of this award. I was nominated originally by Marian Salzman, former CMO of JWT Worldwide, chosen by an executive committee, and awarded by Sir Martin Sorrell, president, chairman, and CEO of WPP group of companies Worldwide, and Bob Jeffrey, chairman and CEO of JWT Worldwide
