About
I am currently Managing Partner – Head of Search, North America, for Maxus, providing operational management and senior account strategy leadership for the organization. I am responsible for the overall management of Maxus’ North American search offering, development and facilitation of vendor partners, integration of search with other media channels as well as overseeing client and employee enrichment.
I have served as a leader in the interactive industry for more than 15 years. Active in the industry since its inception, I have provided strategy and consulting for brands including Anheuser-Busch, USB Warburg, Sprint, Republic of Tea, Verizon and Microsoft. In 1995, I co-founded StudioPointe Interactive, a company that provided online presence and website strategy and website development. I joined ShearTech Advantage (partially owned by Skillsoft Corporation), where I served as Vice President of Operations. I later joined SteadyRain as vice president of sales and marketing, before joining Outrider in 2005 as Director of Strategic Services. As of January 2011 Outrider has merged with Maxus leading to my current role of Head of Search, North America.
Innovation and diligence are key characteristics of my work. My work has received industry recognition, including two Targeted Advertising & Marketing (TAM) Awards and three ADDY Awards, a highly-competitive award given by the American Advertising Federation, recognizing creative excellence in the industry. I am also a recipient of two Omni Awards, an industry award recognizing outstanding media production, and was featured in 2001 as one of St. Louis’ “30 Under 30″ by the St. Louis Business Journal, an award that recognizes the city’s top professionals under the age of 30 who are making a mark on in the business world. I holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Japanese Studies from Earlham College.
Outside of the office, I am actively involved in the St. Louis community. I serve on the St. Patrick Center Board of Trustees and I am a member of the American Chamber Chorale Board.
