Hey there.
I'm the cofounder and strategy partner at Quick Study, which launched in July 2022. Our mission is to make clients smarter, faster, by eliminating the bloat that comes from the traditional strategy process and focusing on actionable solutions to brand challenges.
Prior to starting Quick Study, I was Executive Director, Head of Strategy & Relevance for Annex88, where I spent 6.5 years building a best-in-class agency focused on relevance and value. On a day-to-day basis I helped manage the 50+ person agency across all departments, and also led an incredibly talented team of integrated strategists focused on bridging the gap between a brand’s mission and the cultural relevance necessary to stand out in 2022. My work contributed to multiple award-winning campaigns and billions of impressions for clients looking to change the status quo like adidas, Beam Suntory, Keurig Dr. Pepper, Hyatt, L’Oreal, and many more.
I’ve been a judge for the Webby Awards & Shorty Awards for the past 5 years, and was recently on the Social Media & Influencer jury at the London International Awards.
Before Annex88, I spent time with Droga5 and Huge, helping establish the importance of a strong social-first approach to brand-building.
I graduated from Ithaca College with a degree in journalism.
My amazing wife and I have a very cute dog.
