Executive Creative Director, Global Brand & Design Leader
––
My career began at the intersection of art and technology, a path sparked by a childhood obsession with skate culture, comic books, and early computing. This fusion of creative expression and technical curiosity led me to UMASS Amherst, where I graduated Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design and Photography. I entered the industry during the .com boom at Circus Media, where I first began bridging the gap between physical products and the burgeoning world of digital identity.
In 2002 I moved to New York City. There, I joined Dogmatic as an Art Director, notably directing design and digital content for Keith Richards during the Rolling Stones’ Forty Licks tour. This experience in high-stakes, global collaboration paved the way for a transition into integrated advertising at Digitas. As a Creative Director within their "Powerhouse" group, I led cross-disciplinary teams for iconic brands including American Express, Gillette, Tide, and GM, eventually scaling the Duracell Global account from traditional media into a complex ecosystem of digital products and omnichannel experiences.
My subsequent leadership roles have focused on organizational transformation and scale. At Toth, I partnered with the CEO to architect the agency’s digital evolution for heritage brands like L.L. Bean. In 2011, I joined Isobar (now Dentsu Creative) as Vice President to lead Samsung’s Olympic experience for the London 2012 Games, later serving as Group Creative Director for the Boston office. There, I led the agency’s largest North American creative team, securing and growing the adidas and LEGO Digital Agency of Record accounts. By expanding our remit from digital media into global brand consultation and content strategy, I grew these accounts into $7M+ annual partnerships and earned top industry honors from Cannes Lions, Clios, and Effies.
Currently, I serve as the Global Executive Creative Director at Aquent, where I spearhead brand creative strategy and direction across a global portfolio. Most recently, I led the launch of Skill, a category-disrupting recruiting company powered by proprietary AI technology. While I am proud of the over 30 industry awards my teams have won since 2023, my true passion remains the stewardship of high-performing talent. I believe in an empowering leadership style that prioritizes empathy and advocacy, ensuring teams have the clarity and support to deliver world-class work.
Based outside of Boston, I balance my professional life by coaching youth baseball and navigating the ski slopes with my three children.
