Collette (Coco) Douaihy
Global CCO, Health
Dentsu Health
New York
Coco Douaihy has dedicated most of her career to the healthcare industry and would not have it any other way. After spending a decade at Digitas Health, Publicis Group, an agency experience that fueled her career, she found herself in a new opportunity. She joined Dentsu in 2022 to help set the course for the launch of Dentsu Health — an ambition and commitment to unlock opportunities for growth across the entire health ecosystem.
She believes that great work begins and ends with a big idea — big, generous ideas that elicit awe, wonder, delight, and even envy. But more than that, she believes it takes discovering extraordinary creative talent and giving them the platform to do great work. Above all, unshakable trust with colleagues and clients so that when big ideas happen, big success follows. As Global CCO of Dentsu Health, she inspires a new generation of creative talent — building a culture of game-changing ideas that find a home with clients brave enough to bring them to life.
Most recently, she served as Jury Pharma President at Cannes Lions and was named the Healthcare Marketing Influencer 25 Class of 2024. She’s had the privilege of serving on the Pharma and Health & Wellness Juries at the Cannes Lions Festival, London International Awards, the Clio Awards, The Global Awards, The One Show, and the Gerety Awards. In 2023, she was the Chair of Clio Health and, in 2022, a Jury President of the London International Awards for Craft. In 2017, she received the DTC Vanguard Award for driving innovation on future consumer health launches.
Coco’s work has been awarded for creative excellence by Cannes Lions, Clios, LIAs, MM&M, DTC, RX Club, Cresta, Creative Floor, Addy Awards, and many more.
