Global Marketer of the Year 2023

We are proud to announce that Asmita Dubey, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer (CDMO) at L’Oréal, has been named WFA Global Marketer of the Year. Asmita was one of five shortlisted candidates and topped the combined public and expert jury vote.

“We had 40 of the world’s most respected marketers in the competition and I’m delighted to congratulate Asmita on having won the title of Global Marketer of 2023”, said WFA CEO Stephan Loerke.

Celebrating great marketers who make a real difference

Senior global and regional marketers can have a huge impact in multiple ways.

Whether it’s creating effective purpose-driven campaigns, restructuring the way their internal and external teams work together or playing an industry leadership role, for example around furthering the Diversity & Inclusion agenda, great marketers make a real difference.

Since 2017, the WFA Global Marketer of the Year Award has been seeking to identify the person in a global or regional role who has, over the last 12 months, made the most impact on their company, our industry and the reputation of marketing among consumers.

Our Jury

Our jury represents a hugely experienced team of marketers, consultants and industry experts.

Chaired by Raja Rajamannar, Mastercard’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, it includes a wide range of sector and regional expertise, making it perfectly equipped to identify those who are making the biggest impact on the increasingly global marketing business.
