In today’s complex business environment, sustainable growth requires strategic vision, operational excellence, and transformational leadership that drives both cultural change and financial performance. Across 20+ years as a CEO, President, and CMO, I’ve consistently delivered double-digit year-over-year growth while leading P&L responsibilities exceeding $50 million. Through strategic consolidations and operational optimization, I’ve built, scaled, and transformed brands at the intersection of culture, business, and creativity, in leadership roles at BBH USA/Publicis Groupe, Paramount Global, C.F. Martin Guitar, and Universal Music Group, and in close partnership with clients such as Google, Heineken USA, Samsung Global, Walmart, and Mattel’s Barbie and Hot Wheels. I’m the founder of Grit & Glory Agency, where I partner with executive leadership teams to spark bold growth, unlock new opportunities, and lead with cultural clarity, bringing cross-industry perspective to drive lasting impact. I’m now exploring my next C-Suite opportunity to partner with a leadership team ready to scale with vision, courage, and discipline, bringing strategic clarity, P&L management expertise, and operational rigor to fuel sustainable growth and market expansion. Named Ad Age’s A-List and Creativity Awards “Agency Executive of the Year,” I’m also a trusted industry voice, having served as a keynote speaker, juror, and Jury President for global stages including Cannes Lions, Dubai Lynx, and Ad Age’s Creativity Awards. In the boardroom, I bring deep expertise in corporate governance, brand transformation, and stakeholder relations. I currently serve on the boards of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation and the Girl Scouts of Greater New York, and am an active participant in NYSE Board Services, Nasdaq Center for Board Excellence, and J.P. Morgan executive programs.
