She will provide senior counsel for the agency’s existing UK and global clients including, Aruba, Capgemini and iRobot.
“This is a really exciting move for me as I join a growing and entrepreneurial agency in the UK,” said Dominici. “I’ve watched WE with great interest and what struck me the most was the innovative work they are doing for clients spanning technology, health and consumer. That is exactly where I want to deploy my experience and set about growing a best-in-class digital and content team.”
