Spencer Osborn

Head, Strategy and Design

Spencer spent 25 years in the brand advertising world as a global managing director for Ogilvy Worldwide, WPP and Havas where he worked on blue chip brands like IBM, Microsoft, SAP, DHL, Dupont and Thomson Reuters. He also was a founder member of the Ogilvy Diversity and Inclusion Council and was Head of Learning and Talent Development for 2 years.

He sensed the pivot in brand relationship building from “tell and sell” to “touch and feel” and joined Cognizant as Head of Strategy in 2019.

He is privileged to lead a team of phenomenally smart social scientists, strategists and product managers at Idea Couture and learns many things from them each and every day
