Accenture has announced that David Droga will be stepping down as CEO of Accenture Song at the end of the current financial year.

Ndidi Oteh, currently, senior managing director, head - Americas, Accenture Song, will replace Droga in September 2025. She will also join Accenture's global management committee (GMC). 

Droga will take on a broader strategic group as vice chair, Accenture. 

Nick Law will lead creative strategy and experience and also join Oteh on Accenture's GMC.

Droga founded Droga5 in 2006, which was acquired by Accenture in 2019. He assumed the CEO role in 2021. Droga unified 40 acquisitions by Accenture under the 'Song' umbrella. 

Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture, said, "David Droga has long been a singular force and a once-in-a-generation creative leader and business builder and he has lived our core value of stewardship and has developed the next generation of leaders who will build an even better Song. He brings humanity, imagination, clarity, and confidence to everything he touches and helps redefine how businesses grow and connect. His brilliance is matched only by his generosity, integrity, and belief in others. As Accenture’s vice chair, his legacy and impact will continue for our people, our work, and our purpose."

Droga said, "It has been a privilege to be part of so many missions and cultures around the world. With such extraordinary leadership in place, it felt like the right time. I could not be more confident that Ndidi, Sean and Nick will continue building on Song's legacy of innovation, creativity, and performance. I am also deeply grateful for Julie Sweet's trust, our partnership, and what will be an enduring friendship.”

He added, "I honestly could not be more grateful for my career and the opportunities I've had. The people who believed in me, the talent I've worked alongside, the clients we've served, the trust, the ambition, the camaraderie, it's all part of me. After 30 plus years of leaping, I am ready to catch my breath. And being vice chair will allow me to do that, but also to contribute in new ways. I am also excited to spend more time suffixing: Thinking, daydreaming, advising, investing, giving, mentoring, exploring, learning, playing, appreciating, family-ing, sleeping-in-ing."
