R3 Worldwide Expands with Opening of San Francisco Office

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Client-Agency consulting firm R3:JLB, the North American division of R3 Worldwide, has expanded with a new office in San Francisco to help service its growing business with global and national clients based in California and the West Coast. The new R3:JLB office in San Francisco will be led by Mary Moudry, formerly CEO of DDB West. "We wanted to find a proven client-agency leader as companies look for our help to establish and promote more effective relationships with their agencies, and Mary brings us that capability in spades," said Dave Beals, President and CEO of R3:JLB. "She's a terrific team-builder, and fluent in global management best practice and managing complex relationships," he added.

"Over the course of my 30+ years on the Agency side, whenever a client hired Jones Lundin, now R3:JLB, to lead a search or mediate a contract, I felt that both the Client and the Agency were in good hands," said Ms. Moudry. "I can wholeheartedly say that in every instance I valued their respect, fairness, and recommendations. As I pursued my post agency life, joining up with R3 simply made sense. What R3 has built and the value proposition they bring to the table is unparalleled."

Mary received her MBA at Thunderbird, and joined Needham Harper & Steers (now DDB) in Chicago, working in account management on McDonald's, Dial Soap, and General Mills. In the mid 80's, she joined FCB San Francisco as an Account Executive and was ultimately promoted to SVP, Group Account Director, working on multiple brands and companies including The Clorox Company, Pacific Bell, Levi Strauss, California Raisins, Heinz, and Taco Bell. After 14 years at FCB, she opened DDB San Francisco and served as Managing Director. In 2003, she was made President & CEO leading global and local assignments for The Clorox Company, ConAgra Foods, and Johnson & Johnson.

San Francisco now joins R3's expanding consulting practice, with established offices in New York, Chicago, Shanghai, San Francisco, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, and partner offices in Sao Paolo, Madrid, and Delhi.
