Tanya De Poli

Born in the US, raised in Argentina, before deciding to branch into the world of the indie agencies, Tanya became the youngest appointed GM in Ogilvy globals history, at age 29. She led the growth of the agency bringing huge accounts such as Starbucks, KFC & Universal Orlando Resorts for LATAM & Caribbean. Then in 2019 she ventured out to open her own agency: Founders. In the year since its birth, Founders has been cataloged as a “Phenomenon”, by many in the industry, after opening 4 offices and winning accounts such as Red Stripe (Heineken Group), Scotiabank, GLOBANT, ASSIST CARD, American Express, & The North Face, amongst others. Tanya is an advocate for gender equality, and is proud to lead a team that is 60% female, most of which occupy leadership roles at Founders. She seeks to continue expanding opportunities for minorities in advertising through her role on the Board of & The Network.
