As the Founder and Chairman of Thesis, a digital marketing agency, I have over 21 years of experience in inspiring and partnering with great brands, such as Nike, Adobe, HP, Spotify, Oregon College Savings Plan, and Taco Bell. I have a marketing mindset with an innate curiosity to stay ahead of the frenetic pace of growth in digital marketing channels and trends. I am also a Section4 Certified Brand Strategist, with the skills and knowledge to build and manage powerful brands in the digital age.I am also a Co-Founder of The Script, a social enterprise that removes the barriers for diverse young talent and replaces them with opportunities and a supportive community. Since 2016, we have matched over 600 underrepresented college students and recent grads with paid internships at the top regional companies, and provided further mentoring and career pipelines for people of color and lower-socioeconomic status. I am passionate about making Oregon a more diverse and inclusive business community, and creating pathways to leadership for the next generation of talent.
