I am an award-winning creative executive with experience up the wazoo. I have had a deep focus on healthcare, one of the toughest and most highly regulated industries with experience that spans practically every therapeutic category. I have developed numerous integrated campaigns for some of the top Fortune 100 companies, including Pfizer, Novartis, Roche, BMS, Genentech, Amgen, and AstraZeneca; and partnered with numerous small innovative healthcare companies as well.
I have a unique perspective for a Creative Director with education in both the arts and sciences. Coming from a medical family, I studied pre-Med in addition to Fine Arts, receiving my B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College and pursued post-graduate work at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
My passions outside of marketing have led me to found 3 successful companies—a jewelry design company, Groovy Designs; a venture in gourmet foods, Sky High Foods; and a cloud-based eCommerce restaurant delivery service, HarlemDelivers.com (pre-GrubHub).
And if all that isn't enough, the following is a short list of 10 things that you will not find on my resume.
