Claire Lematta
President, Global Regions
As Waggener Edstrom Worldwide’s president of Global Regions, Claire Lematta ensures that each of the agency’s regions works closely together to develop world-class client partnerships, and to set the standard for customer service and mutually beneficial long-term client relationships.
WE employees are encouraged to view themselves as citizens of the world, but Claire truly lives this affirmation in her day-to-day work. She oversees the agency’s EMEA and North America business expansion, the Global Alliance network, and drives the strategy to extend the agency’s geographic reach and services.
While Claire spends most of her time and energy working with regional practice leaders on global strategic plans, in 2011 she also assumed leadership of the agency’s global Marketing and Client Development activities.
Previously, Claire directed the agency’s EMEA operations from London in the years 2002 to 2007, and she was named president of the agency’s EMEA presence in January 2006. Under her stewardship, the agency’s profile in EMEA grew steadily, with revenues increasing threefold in five years.
Over the past two decades, Claire has successfully driven numerous corporate and business campaigns, initiatives, events and product launches for clients such as Microsoft, Electronic Arts, GE HealthCare, GSK Biologicals and Iron Mountain.
