BioMy background includes more than 20 years experience working with leading brands on both the agency and client side of the business. At Carlson Marketing and John Ryan Performance, I sold and implemented creative solutions with a variety of Fortune 500 clients. On the client side, I served as Director of Brand Marketing at American Express, where I led the rebranding of the 15,000+ financial advisors unit to Ameriprise Financial – one of the largest-ever corporate spinoffs. With experience in multiple marketing disciplines, my specialties include brand, customer loyalty, interactive and point-of-sale solutions.
I am also a past Vice President and Director of the Employee Involvement Association – an international non-profit professional networking organization. As a Certified Employee Involvement Professional, I led EIA’s certification and training programs – and I have spoken at numerous industry conferences on engaging employees to improve business results. I have also held the FINRA (formerly NASD) Series 6, 7 and 24 licenses.
Away from the office, I play the bagpipes and serve as Pipe Sergeant of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Pipe Band. Minnesota natives both, my wife, Teri, and I make our home in Minneapolis.
