Apr. 09, 2026

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. 

Spencer Schrage, Managing Director of North America at M+C Saatchi Consulting said:

“Jennifer brings strategic clarity and hands-on delivery, with a portfolio that includes some of the world’s most iconic organizations. 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.” 

 

Fuqua 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 organizations, defining future-facing product and experience strategies, and embedding the systems organizations need to take ideas from concept to scaled reality. 

Rhonda Hiatt, Global CEO of M+C Saatchi Consulting said:

“Innovation today isn’t defined by products alone, but by how brands participate and connect in culture. 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.” 

 

Fuqua’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. 

Jennifer Lee Fuqua said:

“I’m excited to join M+C Saatchi Consulting at a time when innovation is increasingly critical to how brands grow and stay relevant. 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 organizations build the capabilities needed to sustain innovation over time.”
