M+C Saatchi Consulting names Jennifer Lee Fuqua Senior Director of Innovation
Jennifer Lee Fuqua brings over two decades of experience advising global brands on strategies that connect innovation, culture and business growth.
M+C Saatchi Consulting has appointed Jennifer Lee Fuqua as senior director of innovation for North America, as the agency continues to invest in its innovation practice and respond to increasing client demand for modern approaches to growth.
In this role, Jennifer will work across M+C Saatchi Consulting’s global client portfolio to shape and scale its innovation practice, designing new offerings that connect data, insight, brand, culture and commercial strategy.
“Jennifer brings strategic clarity and hands-on delivery, with a portfolio that includes some of the world’s most iconic organisations,” said Spencer Schrage, Managing Director of North America at M+C Saatchi Consulting. “She’s both a practitioner and a thought leader, with a clear point of view on how innovation drives business growth beyond product and service design. Her experience building category-defining products and advising C-suite leaders on complex challenges aligns directly with our ambition to expand and elevate our innovation practice.”
Jennifer brings more than two decades of experience in innovation and consumer strategy, advising some of the world’s largest brands, including Mondelez, Hilton, Disney, HSBC and IKEA.
Her career spans roles at Ogilvy Consulting, Fjord (Accenture Song), and frog, where she built and led cross-functional teams to solve complex business challenges. Her work has focused on building multi-year innovation pipelines for global FMCG organisations, defining future-facing product and experience strategies, and embedding the systems organisations need to take ideas from concept to scaled reality.
“Innovation today isn’t defined by products alone, but by how brands participate and connect in culture,” said Rhonda Hiatt, Global CEO of M+C Saatchi Consulting. “Jennifer’s significant experience upgrades our innovation practice, and we’re so pleased to be able to continue our strong client partnerships under her leadership.”
Jennifer's appointment comes amid growing momentum for M+C Saatchi Consulting’s integrated operating model in North America, and follows the recent appointment of Spencer Schrage to lead the business in the region.
“I’m excited to join M+C Saatchi Consulting at a time when innovation is increasingly critical to how brands grow and stay relevant,” said Jennifer Lee Fuqua. “What drew me here is the opportunity to connect strategy, design and creativity in a way that delivers real, tangible impact for clients, and to help organisations build the capabilities needed to sustain innovation over time.”
