Dentsu Creative Elevates Sonia Sharda To Managing Partner

Sonia Sharda, Managing Partner at Dentsu Creative

Sonia Sharda has been elevated to managing partner at Dentsu Creative, stepping up from executive vice president in what is her fourth promotion at the agency in three years.

  • New role: Managing Partner at Dentsu Creative, effective July 2026
  • Previous role: Executive Vice President
  • Progression: joined June 2023 as VP Business, SVP July 2024, EVP July 2025
  • Earlier: over five years at WATConsult

An Unusually Steep Climb

Sharda shared the development on LinkedIn, writing that she was happy to be stepping into the role of managing partner at Dentsu Creative.

The pace is worth noting. Vice president to managing partner inside three years, with a promotion in each of the last three Julys, is a faster progression than most agency ladders allow, and suggests a business the agency has been steadily widening around her.

Before Dentsu Creative, Sharda spent over five years at WATConsult, where she held roles including vice president for operations across West and South, associate vice president for operations in the West, regional head for West operations, and group account manager.

She began her career at Perfect Relations as an associate image executive, later worked at Prime Vision Studio in Dubai as a marketing executive, and then spent over three years at Orient Planet in social media and project roles.
