Valérie Accary

After graduating from ESSEC business school, Valérie entered the advertising industry because it uniquely joined business/brand strategic thinking and creativity. She became a leader in France and a global leader.

As the CEO of BBDO in France for 15 years, she transformed the French agency into an international agency based in Paris. Her three key obsessions have been to recruit and manage a talented multicultural team, to reach global standard creative excellence, and to achieve strong financial results.

More recently the COVID-19 pandemic and her entrepreneurial spirit encouraged her to co-found, in 2021, the non-profit organisation ‘Les MétamorFoses – Sublimer les imperfections’ dedicated to upcycling.
