An insatiable quest for originality, the power to see solutions and opportunities differently, and an astute grasp of what drives local consumers in a global marketplace, make David Sable one of advertising's most innovative thinkers.

An evangelist of relationship marketing, David is more passionate than ever about its future, especially as the Internet, wireless, blue tooth and emerging technologies present boundless possibilities to reach (and listen to) consumers anywhere in the world.

As chairman and CEO of Wunderman Europe/Middle East, Africa, he created unity within our diverse European operation. As president and CEO of the New York office, David infused his team with a spirit of innovation that is the very fabric of Wunderman's heritage.

Managing change is at the heart of David's expertise. He led the United States Postal Service through organizational changes in the 1990s, which led to a new messaging platform and assets, including its logo, still in use today. In the 1980s, David spearheaded the first integrated global product launch for Colgate Tartar Control toothpaste, which debuted in 29 countries across all channels and media. Its success set the standard for future product launches at Colgate.
