Chief Operating Officer at SpotCo
Chief Operating Officer at SpotCo
Experienced Chief Operating Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry. Skilled in Operations, Process/Procedure, Structure, Finance, Forecasting, Budget Controls, People & Culture, Advertising, Event Management, Project Management, Account Management, Staff Satisfaction, Legal Compliance, Direct Mail, Print Services, Multicultural Audience Development, and Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. 

I am the Chief Operating Officer at SpotCo, the world’s leading full-service advertising, marketing and branding agency. I joined the company in 2002 as a member of the account services team and got my start managing brand and media strategy for Manhattan Theatre Club, Cirque du Soleil, and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, to name a few. I went on to found the agency’s Direct Mail/Print Services department, a role in which I oversaw the list acquisition for mailers and the creation of printed materials for hundreds of Broadway shows. Seeing a need for greater organizational development within the company, I would also go on to found the company’s Operations and Human Resources departments. Today, I am the highest-ranking person of color in the theatrical advertising industry. I am passionate about philanthropic giving, fair workplace practices, and equity in the industry: improving its statistics from the root up. In addition to spearheading Equity, Diversity & Inclusion initiatives for SpotCo and its clients, I serve as a proud Board Member for New Heritage Theatre.  I am also a proud Board Member for the Black Theatre Coalition whose mission is to remove the "illusion of inclusion” in American Theatre, by building a sustainable, ethical roadmap leading to increased employment opportunities for Black theatre professionals; and I am on the advisory board of The Theatre Leadership Project (TTLP) whose mission is to create lasting change in American Theatre by installing BIPOC leadership in the industry.
