About me

I operate at the convergence of compelling narratives, masterful design, and emerging technology, guiding ethical enterprises in forging stronger bonds and enriched interactions among themselves, their workforce, and their clientele. My mission involves igniting inspiration and cultivating teams that seamlessly blend the art of storytelling, product design, and customer engagement.

As the author of "Algorithms Don't Feel, People Do" (featured in Harvard Business Review), I delve into the intricacies of the human element in today's tech-driven landscape. My insights have also led me to become a sought-after speaker, sharing my expertise on the synergy between creativity, technology, and storytelling.

My journey unfolds with previous roles that encompass pivotal contributions:

As a Managing Director at Deloitte, I etched history by being appointed the inaugural Chief Creative Officer of Deloitte Digital in 2015. My leadership played a key role in propelling Deloitte Consulting's entry into the Digital Creative & Content Services domain. Under my guidance, the number of Studios burgeoned from 2 to 7, extending their reach across the United States.

My tenure as Chief Creative Officer of SapientNitro NY and IMC2 underscores my extensive industry influence. A significant milestone in my journey was being designated as the first Digital Executive Creative Director of Interpublic's McCann Erickson agency.

My accomplishments have garnered acclaim, including being recognized as a Digital Creative ALL STAR by MediaPost, dubbed Creative Director of the Future by AD AGE's Creativity Magazine. Additionally, I held a position of influence as a member of Adobe's Global Creative Council and served as a discerning juror for the prestigious Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
