Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Defined by his leadership, innovation and a steadfast commitment to integrity, Mr. Orlov has led a distinguished career of more than 30 years in global business transformation. As the founder and chief executive officer of the global marketing and communications group MTM Choice, LLC — established in 2017 — he is responsible for helping clients restructure their cost governance and advising leadership teams on marketing strategies, public relations and branding architecture. A respected authority in commercial strategy, organizational leadership and board and investor engagement, he is an expert in connecting brands with relevant social and cultural audiences.

Prior to founding MTM Choice, Mr. Orlov was an advisor to the global chief executive officer at DAS Group of Companies (now Omnicom) from 2016 to 2017. In this capacity, he provided strategic counsel on public relations and specialty communications at the highest levels of the organization. From 2014 to 2016, he held the position of global chief executive officer at the advertising leader RAPP, where he oversaw worldwide operations from both London and New York and drove significant growth initiatives.

As chief marketing officer of Volkswagen Group China from 2008 to 2014, Mr. Orlov was pivotal in shaping marketing strategies and commercial brand governance across key Asian markets. Over the course of his tenure, he helped the company achieve record years in sales performance, earning the Gold Lion at the Cannes Lions Awards in 2013.

Throughout his career, Mr. Orlov has been recognized not only for his professional achievements but also for his unwavering commitment to brand truth and humanity. He is most proud of being regarded as trustworthy and reflective — qualities that have shaped both his personal ethos and professional reputation. Known for standing up against unethical behavior even when it led to personal challenges, his dedication to integrity has been a defining aspect of his leadership style.

Mr. Orlov's academic background includes completing coursework toward a Bachelor of Social Science at the University of Cape Town after attending Christian Brothers College Seminary. Reflecting on his storied journey to date, he credits his success to discovering his true self during challenging times, demonstrating courage and benefiting from the guidance of remarkable mentors who have challenged his thinking throughout his journey.

Looking toward the future, Mr. Orlov seeks to remain an influential voice regarding how businesses should approach their responsibilities toward those they serve. He advocates for leveraging artificial intelligence while emphasizing that human integrity must remain a top priority.
