My Approach
Outcomes Driven
Results matter. Creating systems to navigate a sea of tasks so teams can prioritize the right initiatives that produce the desired outcomes for the business and our clients.
Entrepreneurial
Helping to define new and creative approaches to challenges to achieve business objectives and create value.
Empowering Teams
No one likes a micromanager. When you have talented people in the right roles, everyone wins. The goal is to find the best team members and put them in positions where they win today and show continued growth in the future.
Cross-discipline Collaborator
The greatest success comes from pulling the best ideas from the full team. Working closely with Creative, Technology, Strategy, Client Service, and other members of the product team ensure the best ideas find their way to the surface.
Organizationally Focused
Ideas are great, but they shouldn't be made in a vacuum. Aligning team and department goals with initiatives that are important to the larger organization shows a commitment to the objectives of senior leadership and creates a unified vision.
Transparent Communicator
There are few things more frustrating than lack of clear direction. Establishing trust, communicating clearly and often, and creating clear next steps is key for the continued development of team members.
Positive Motivator
Positivity is underrated. While it's important to be realistic and not sugar-coat issues, maintaining a posture of positivity can do wonders for motivating teams and achieving meaningful results.
Life-long Learner
Digital is ever-changing and we need to equip ourselves with new concepts, approaches, and the learnings of others. We're not chasing fads; we're staying on top of where the industry is going and adjusting our initiatives to stay ahead.
