About Jeffrey Wu

As a CFO and COO with over 20 years of leadership experience, I see finance and operations as strategic disciplines that drive transformation, scalability, and creative performance. My career spans advertising, marketing, media, digital, entertainment, consulting, and production—giving me the range to connect creative ambition with commercial clarity and operational scale.At Hogarth Worldwide (WPP), I lead financial operations across the Americas for the industry’s leading global content and production organization. My focus is on building scalable financial structures, systems, and models that connect creativity, craft, technology, and performance—strengthening how the Americas and global production ecosystems operate and evolve.Previously, at Omnicom, I helped build and lead finance for a new global studio and production platform—first as CFO of Omnicom Content Studios, then as CFO of Omnicom Production in the U.S. I developed the financial and operating frameworks that unified more than 65 studios and production entities, integrating creative, content, and production delivery under a single financial model.Earlier, I led finance and business operations through a major leadership transition at SYPartners, strengthened financial operations and supported global growth at Huge, and delivered over a decade of growth and profitability at TBWA\\Chiat\\Day. I also worked within private equity–backed environments, driving restructuring, integration, and performance improvement initiatives. I began my career at Arthur Andersen, focusing on the advertising industry and acquisitions, and gained deep financial and analytical skills at Time Warner, building a foundation that continues to inform how I approach scale, accountability, and business design today.I lead with clarity and collaboration, believing the best results come when teams understand both the creative mission and the commercial framework that supports it. I value precision, transparency, and progress—but also curiosity and humanity. In complex, fast-moving environments, I aim to create structure that enables confidence, creativity, and forward momentum.
