I am a strategic growth advisor and former Managing Director with 30 years of experience leading and scaling advertising agencies, brands, and marketers through periods of inflection — growth acceleration, repositioning, operational strain, and leadership transition. I work with agency CEOs and marketing executives to restore momentum, sharpen strategic clarity, and align structure, talent, and culture to drive revenue growth and enhance organizational performance.

Why I Do What I Do.
I’m a proven organizational and people leader with a wide range of expertise to add value to, drive results for, and build the future of any company. I have 30 years of both agency-side (Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, Grady Britton), client‐side (American Express) and board (Northwest Academy) experience leading teams to deliver programs and initiatives for leading organizations. My focus is delivering integrated, value-driven marketing solutions that solve business challenges, engage audiences, and grow brands. I’ve led multidisciplinary teams to deliver impactful work for leading global, national and PNW organizations including Procter & Gamble, Charles Schwab, First Interstate Bank, Market of Choice, Bob’s Red Mill, Travel Portland and Stumptown Coffee Roasters among many others.
My reason for being is taking people to places they didn't know they could go. There's nothing I love to do more. Whether it's a client, a team, or an organization, I believe in the possibilities of what we can do together. Sometimes it's about inspiring and challenging. Sometimes it's about building a foundation and getting the basics right. It’s always about stretching to create something great together and enjoying the ride along the way.
