I’m a creative executive focused on building and leading inspired and inclusive high-powered creative and design teams. My left brain and right brain fire on all cylinders. I think strategically and create creatively. I have an art degree and an MBA. I like making things as much as I like selling things.
I believe in hard work, humility and kindness. And I do my best to lead by example.
During my career, I’m grateful to have…
…led the creation of Jeep’s first-ever global sustainability platform, connecting 20 markets and cultures for one common cause.
…brought back tennis legend Andre Agassi for Lavazza to support children in need.
…penned Dodge’s long running “Brotherhood of Muscle” positioning and helped break all-time sales records.
…written and published two books to bring awareness to shelter dogs.
…launched the Fiat 500L in America and won our agency multiple Cannes Lions.
…helped earn millions of dollars in new business across channels and categories.
…led a team of 100+ award-winning, diverse creatives across North America, LATAM and India.
…and, above all, maintained my faith and my focus on health, family and creativity.
