About

A versatile agency leader with two decades of experience managing accounts and talented creative teams to develop a wide range of incredible work (have a look at our agency website: www.160over90.com). Over my career, I’ve managed agency teams through each phase of branding, advertising, and marketing endeavors: research and discovery, strategy development and marketing planning, brand and campaign development, brand rollout/implementation, execution, production, media placement, tracking and reporting, activation, digital properties, public relations, and more. As a senior executive at 160over90—now an integrated, global agency team—I help to chart the course of our agency's continued growth and evolution alongside two wildly talented partners. In addition, I regularly speak at conferences and seminars, lead new business pitches and workshops, and manage the P&L for a large division of the organization. The pressure is a privilege. I believe maintaining a good attitude is more than half the battle. Our mantra is “Courage over Comfort,” and I’ve never been afraid to have a bit of fun despite setting a high bar for myself and our team.
