Prior to joining Cohn & Wolfe, she was Senior Vice-President at Fleishman-Hillard, where she was responsible for the management and growth of the Delhi office.

“Megha helped establish our India operations and has done a tremendous job in building our offering and growing our reputation. I'm thrilled to have her in this new role to further drive our growth and success in this critical market,” said Donna Imperato, Chief Executive Officer, Cohn & Wolfe. “Given the enormous opportunity for us in India, we are also actively pursuing an acquisition to broaden our reach across the region.”
