After five years, she added OgilvyOne Media to her responsibilities. In the past three years Nasreen has led mOne, the joint venture between MindShare and OgilvyOne as Worldwide CEO.

Nasreen’s background in 360-degree communications, and direct and digital media, makes her unique in the industry and well positioned to lead Neo@Ogilvy in the face of challenges, such as the ever-changing global media landscape and the digitalization of all media. Under her leadership, mOne quadrupled in size in three years, won many awards for innovation, was named “Interactive Media Agency of the Year” in 2003 by MediaPost, and was on the Interactive Media Agencies Top 10 list in 2005.

Kurwig started his first successful software company in the early phase of electronic publishing.
