Interpublic Group’s Lynn Fantom is a three-time public company CEO who has skillfully tackled different leadership challenges. As ID Media’s founding/current CEO, she transformed a roll-up of agencies into the nation’s largest direct and digital media agency, growing it into a mecca for working moms (2/3 women) and workplace diversity (40% people of color), as well as a three-time Crain’s “Best Places to Work in NYC” and IPG diversity and awards winner. Fantom’s leadership success is based on the insight that power and influence go a long way when leaders embrace workforce talent. It’s what enabled her to grow Draft NY’s start-up office five-fold, inspire Lowe Direct to double profits after its former management walked out, and spearhead Web services company K2 Digital through explosive growth. The WSJ, Advertising Age and business bestseller Moral Intelligence have recognized her leadership talents, and IPG named her its “Agency CEO to Watch.”
