SITUATION: When I began as head of Creative Services, employee satisfaction was 52%. The team was scattered and fractured across 12 offices. People in the same, small building for 30 years had never met! No processes, tools or respected leadership driving a common purpose and outcome. There was client angst and team confusion.ACTIONS: Listened to all 300 employees and dozens of clients. Created a Strategic Plan. Recruited the right leaders and some new talent, trained those eager to learn, and procured helpful tools and established a North Star. Culture and excellence became the sole focus: How to become Boeing's most valued and valuable communications powerhouse.RESULTS: Employee satisfaction soared to 90%. Modern tools are in place supporting repeatable process work. Client respect has skyrocketed, creative awards quadrupled, and our leaders have moved into some of the most important marketing roles in the country (Stanford, Humana, T-Mobile and more).

While working directing communications and marketing roles at Boeing, I served as Adjunct Strategic Communications and Marketing instructor in the area's most recognized and respected continuing educational program in strategic communications. Continue to serve on the program's Advisory Council in a volunteer capacity.

Led the Seattle business, strategic and financial operations of Porter Novelli - a top 10 Omnicom PR and marketing agency.

We grew office revenue 5x, won national marketing awards and enjoyed high annual employee satisfaction.
