Verified
In my creative career, I've led through different roles and disciplines, including CEO, CSO and Head of Marketing, formerly at The Mill, R/GA, 72andSunny, Nike, Wieden+Kennedy. My passion for this business has landed me and the family in San Francisco, Amsterdam, Portland, Guadalajara and Los Angeles, working on culture-rich brands like Nike, adidas, Samsung, EA, Google, Beats by Dre, Apple and Activision.

And I greatly enjoy the business of building and leading teams to accomplish this success.More...
