Chioma Aduba is the President at Droga5 New York, bringing her 20 years of advertising experience to the agency. Since joining in October 2023, she’s already led Droga5 in winning a number of new clients, including Bosch, Tourism Australia, Unilever, the United Nations Foundation, Max and more. Also, under her leadership, she helped the agency win top accolades across the industry awards circuit, including at Cannes, D&AD, The Effies, The One Show, ADC, The Clios and even at The Sports Emmys this year - the first Emmy ever in Droga5’s 18-year history.

Prior to Droga5, Chioma spent nearly 10 years at McCann, joining in 2014 to lead the New York office’s new business practice. She made her mark by winning nine pitches in her inaugural year, including Microsoft, Office Depot/OfficeMax and Choice Hotels, wins that drove an agency turnaround. Following her time on the new business front, Chioma turned her eye to running a number of global brands like Mastercard, Reckitt and Qualcomm, where she repositioned a brand in decline, launched new campaigns and picked up everything from Cannes Lions, multiple Effies and One Show recognitions along the way. In addition to her contributions to new business and global brands, Chioma also led the account management department for the agency.
