Most recently, she was chief growth officer at Stagwell, where she was instrumental in scaling the network across North America, strengthening its commercial engine and winning Fortune 100 clients. She was also a founding leader behind Stagwell’s award-winning Sport Beach platform at Cannes Lions, helping establish it as a flagship industry destination.
