AI Is an Instrument. Who's Playing It: Put a guitar in the hands of a novice and you get cacophony. Put it in the hands of an expert and you get magic. AI is the same. The instrument is only as powerful as the human using it. 🎸
WPP Went to 5G While Everyone Else Was Still at 3G: India skipped right past 3G to 5G. Devika says WPP's data strategy is doing the same thing. The acquisition of Infosum gives clients more identity, more intelligence, zero lock-in, and zero waste. 📊
One Bronze Statue. Zero Paid Media. Global Impact: Fearless Girl reached more people than most massive budget campaigns ever do. Devika says it was a one of a kind experience for her. Something she wants to bottle up and hold onto forever. 🗽
Discuss. Debate. Decide: Everything is up for friendly debate at WPP except two things: the pursuit of greatness and doing it with goodness. Devika believes you can do both at the same time, and she is proving it with her leadership style. 💡
She Wants to Be Part of Their Story: When the people who worked with Devika are 80 years old sitting with their grandkids, she wants to be part of a story they tell. That is how she measures a career. 🌟
