I believe that creativity is the most powerful force in business, a conviction with proven results throughout my career in both client side and agency leadership roles.
My portfolio spans startups to Fortune 500, across CPG, luxury, fashion, financial services, travel, beverages, consumer electronics, retail, QSR restaurants, and other B2C and B2B, with deep international experience.
My passion lies in building high performing teams that find themselves motivated, energized and more creative - the kind that moves mountains while having fun. I focus on leveraging cultural moments and consumer insights gleaned from data to elevate brand affinity and engagement. I’m proficient in brand strategy and storytelling, award-winning creative content, product commercialization and go-to-market plans, omnichannel advertising campaigns, and strategic brand partnerships. Making effective work that creates memorable new brands, launches successful new products, and repositions brands that have lost relevance.
Keeping at the edge of innovation, I'm also enthusiastic about exploring generative AI in creative advertising and marketing, actively advocating for its use to boost marketing effectiveness.
