Since her early years, Kristi has been enamored with all things advertising. She recalls wanting to discuss the latest billboards in town as a middle schooler when others her age were wondering what lip glosses to put in their Caboodle. Luckily, Kristi was born with a creative eye and over the course of her 20+ year advertising career, she has used that innate gift combined with her strategic focus and research obsession to effectively help brands connect with their target audiences. From banking and transportation to higher education and tourism, her industry experience is vast. A successful leader, Kristi is known for connecting people and enjoys giving back to her community through her church and as a board member of Mitchell’s Fund. In her free time, Kristi enjoys putting her New Orleans roots to the work in the kitchen and spending time with her husband, children and friends.
