• Leading new business efforts end to end, from prospecting and pitch development to closing, while growing existing client relationships.
• Building, mentoring, and managing a high-performing team, including VPs and account leads, and shaping hiring, talent development, and team culture.
• Representing the agency externally through industry relationships, events, and thought leadership that raise the practice's profile.
• Staying ahead of developments in adtech, martech, SaaS, and AI to keep client strategies and agency offerings ahead of the curve.

• Senior-level agency leadership experience, including managing a practice, large account portfolio, or significant book of business.
• A proven record of winning new business and growing revenue, with comfort owning financial targets.
• Established relationships with top-tier reporters and editors covering enterprise tech, marketing, and AI, plus a history of securing coverage that shapes industry conversations.
• Experience advising C-suite executives and building trust with senior client stakeholders.
• Exceptional writing and strategic thinking across messaging, communications plans, executive content, and new business proposals.
• A track record of building and leading teams, including developing senior talent.
