About me

I have recently embarked on an indefinite sabbatical from the advertising industry.
Previously, I was Chief Creative Officer at Zulu Alpha Kilo in Toronto, which was named Agency "Standout" on the Ad Age A-List, Strategy Magazine's Silver AOY three years in a row, and one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. Before that, I was Chief Creative Officer of Ogilvy Canada, which was named Effie Canada Agency of the Year and Strategy Magazine's Bronze AOY, the agency's first time on the podium in over ten years.
I have worked in both Toronto, Canada, and London, UK, creating campaigns that have run in over 40 countries for many of the world's most respected brands. I was ranked the #1 Creative in Canada multiple times on the One Show rankings and my work on Dove has been awarded four Cannes Lions Grand Prix trophies. I have contributed to a Grand Clio in Creative Effectiveness, a One Show Best in Discipline in Creative Effectiveness and a Penta Pencil. Also, Ogilvy Canada won more Effie Canada effectiveness awards than any other agency during my time there as Chief Creative Officer.

And I have an MBA from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. (Advertising is a business after all.)
