Experience

• R/GA

  Group Strategy Director

  Group Strategy Lead on MasterCard, Ameriprise, and Coca-Cola. I oversaw 16 strategists in planning, analytics, and MSP (mobile & social platforms). Over nearly six years at R/GA I established myself as a trusted strategic leader, new business specialist (wins on MasterCard, Ameriprise, Coke and Samsung) and creative collaborator. I spoke at SXSWi (called one of “8 Crucial Takeaways” by the Huffington Post), NYU, and client events globally. My team’s work was recognized at Cannes, the Ogilvy Awards, Jay Chiat Awards, and Midas Awards. Originally hired as associate director.

• Freelance

  Senior Account Planner

  After FCB closed the LA office I took time to travel and take on contractual strategy projects for agencies and clients, including Clorox in the U.S. and Unilever in Southeast Asia.

• TBWA\Integer Group

  Director, Insight & Strategy

  I brought contemporary planning know-how to a large agency (1,000 people) previously unaccustomed to it and put successful retail strategies in place for Coors and P&G brands. I was trained in TBWA’s Disruption philosophy, and facilitated Disruption workshops for Coors and Adidas. I was originally hired as Senior Planner. Outside of work I created and hosted Coffee Mornings Denver, a twice- monthly gathering for planners and likeminds.

• Longblink

  Principal

  Inspired by the Great American Eclipse of 2017, I decided to take a pause from full time agency life and come back with a fresh perspective. I created Longblink, a strategy studio driven by the simple idea that the ability to pause and reflect is an overlooked form of competitive advantage. In a state of constant acceleration and uncertainty, many marketers spend limited time and resources chasing the digital status quo rather than finding their own true path forward. We believe this has become the new normal in marketing, and we help teams resist it with thoughtful research, collaboration, imagination and ideas.

• Rokkan

  Chief Strategy Officer

  As the first dedicated head of strategy at Rokkan, I helped to build a place where modern strategic thinkers thrive. Over 3.5 years I worked to deepen, refine, and grow the agency’s current core strategic offerings, launch new strategic capabilities, mentor a diverse and broad team, and help lead the agency’s new business growth. 


• PVBLIC Foundation

  The Media For Social Impact Summit is an annual event at the United Nations that brings together representatives of leading media companies, advertising firms and creative agencies with high level United Nations representatives and communication experts. The summit highlights the power of communications and creativity to drive social change and is a strategic incubator for campaigns around pressing global issues.
