ABOUT
SUMMARY
25 years of creative leadership in ad agency and in-house environments for global, regional, and local brands. My work has included brand positioning & design, consumer insights, creative strategy, and full-funnel, award-winning creative campaigns across paid, earned, and owned channels. For Fortune 100 companies to ambitious start-ups, I’ve been equally passionate about leading larger teams of over 65 and being in the trenches with scrappy teams of two or three. In my current role I’ve replaced outside ad agencies by building an internal creative one supporting seven brands with $5.5B in annual revenue.
