As Account Manager, I transitioned from a back-of-house development operations & production focus into a client facing consulting and leadership role. Here, I managed a team of 10+ multi-discipline staff (strategy, creative, development, operations, systems and QA) in providing high-value, high-cadence client services to our pillar accounts. In this time, I managed an efficient and profitable book of business that accounted for a dominant share of organization wide revenue contribution. Consulting in this role was holistic in terms of technology aiding business and marketing. As a consultant with a technology background, I was able to bridge gaps between client IT and Marketing teams and act as a liaison for cross functional activities within client organization. During this time, I was heavily engaged with clients pursuing digital transformation. Initiatives within enterprise grade environments that ranged from standing up new digital demand programs, onboarding email & marketing automation, back office systems integration, digital experience optimization, media partner onboarding, web & app infrastructure planning, software development as well as privacy & compliance auditing.
