McCann Worldgroup Announces New German Leadership Team with Departure of CEO Ruber Iglesias
Ruber Iglesias, who has been at the helm of McCann Worldgroup Germany for nearly a decade, has stepped down as CEO. His departure marks the end of an era for the German operation, which has seen significant growth and expansion under his leadership.
Over the last four years, the German operation has doubled in size, growing from a modest operation to a thriving business with 500 employees. This growth can be attributed to Iglesias's strategic vision and dedication.
The German operation of McCann Worldgroup is now based across three offices, each bustling with creative minds and innovative ideas.
Despite Iglesias's departure, the show must go on. McCann Worldgroup has announced a new leadership team for McCann and MRM in Germany. However, the identities of the new CEOs for McCann and MRM in Germany have not been publicly disclosed as of early August 2025.
While the search for a successor continues, the German operation of McCann Worldgroup continues to thrive. Jan-Phillipp Jahn has been appointed as the CEO of McCann in Germany, while Ulrich Saeuberlich takes the reins as CEO of MRM in Germany.
Jahn and Saeuberlich join a long line of accomplished leaders at McCann Worldgroup, including Prasoon Joshi, who leads McCann Worldgroup India and Asia Pacific, and Javier Campopiano, the Global Chief Creative Officer at McCann.
Iglesias, who has been in the agency business for almost 30 years, has been instrumental in the growth and expansion of the German operation of McCann Worldgroup. He has considered stepping down for some time, eager to explore new opportunities.
Despite his departure, Iglesias's impact on the German operation of McCann Worldgroup will be felt for years to come. The operation is now larger and more successful than it was four years ago, a testament to Iglesias's leadership and vision.
As the new CEOs take the reins, they inherit a thriving business with a rich history and a bright future. The challenge now is to build on the foundation laid by Iglesias and continue to drive growth and success for McCann Worldgroup Germany.
The newly appointed CEOs of McCann and MRM in Germany, Jan-Phillipp Jahn and Ulrich Saeuberlich respectively, join a line of accomplished leaders at McCann Worldgroup, with Iglesias's impact on the German operation still resonating. As they take over, they inherit a financially thriving business, a result of Ruber Iglesias's strategic leadership and vision, with the operation now boasting a business model that has seen significant growth and expansion in the last four years, thriving across three offices filled with creative minds and innovative ideas.
