Creative Leader | Chief Creative Officer
Most recently, I served as Chief Creative Officer of Leo NY, helping launch and build an agency with creativity at its center. In less than two years, we grew from two clients to more than ten and expanded the creative department from nine people to nearly forty. The focus was on building a culture that attracted amazing talent, inspired great work and helped drive meaningful business growth.
I've spent more than 20 years in advertising, beginning as an art director and growing to the CCO level. Along the way, I've had the privilege of working at some of the industry's top agencies, partnering with brands ranging from New York institutions like BAM to global powerhouses like the NFL and P&G.
I believe great creative leadership is about more than making great work. It's about building the environment, culture and teams that make great work possible. It's about bringing out the best in people, pushing ideas further, challenging clients and connecting creativity to business results.
Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to learn from and work alongside some of the most talented people in the business. I love building a team and developing talent as much as helping to developing the next big idea.
I'm always interested in meeting good people, talking about great work and exploring what we might build together.
