Currently serving as both Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), Dabas has confirmed his departure, signaling a major leadership transition at the agency.
Dabas joined McCann India in 2015 as Executive Vice President & Head of Strategy and has since been instrumental in shaping the agency’s strategic vision and creative excellence.
