Anne Devereux-Mills Biography

Anne Devereux-Mills is an advocate for women, a speaker, and a writer on how to create a powerful cycle of personal growth, empowerment, and advancement. From her own story, Devereux-Mills’s mission is to share what she has learned: recognize one's own strengths and skills – and use them to help other women, creating an outward moving circle of positive change, and, in the process, empowering yourself.

In 2012, Devereux-Mills founded Parlay House, a national salon-style gathering of over 1,000 women who meet to pull each other forward through a combination of shared experiences, meaningful content, and peer-to-peer connections.

Devereux-Mills’s experience in leadership and social activism is large. She spent the first 25 years of her career building and leading advertising agencies in New York City and has been widely recognized as one of the most influential women in advertising. She was Chairman and CEO of LLNS and TBWA/ WorldHealth after her successful roles as Chief Integration Officer at BBDO and Managing Director of their highly successful healthcare unit. She also served as CEO of Consumer Healthworks, a division of Merkley and Partners as well as President of Harrison & Star.

Devereux-Mills presently serves as Chairman of the Board of Marchex, a public company, and is proud to be one of the few women serving in that capacity.

Devereux-Mills is very active across a broad array of social justice issues. She was the Executive Director of The Return, an Emmy-nominated documentary about the experience of people returning to society post-prison. She and her husband were also the lead sponsors of California’s Proposition 36, which restored fairness in sentencing to the State’s excessive Three Strikes Law. She serves as board member/ leader/ mentor to a number of education and health-related organizations, including Lantern, the She-CAN Foundation, and Stanford University community’s Healthy Body Image Programs.

Devereux-Mills was a 2003 Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute and is a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.
