    NRG — Owned a Fortune 500 repositioning

    I repositioned a Fortune 500 energy brand from legacy-corporate to human and future-facing — and built the in-house creative organization that set the standard for the entire company.

    VIVINT — Built a lasting in-house agency model

    Over five years and three roles at Vivint, I turned a fragmented set of creative groups into a full-service, 31-person in-house agency — and made it the standard a Fortune 500 acquirer chose to adopt.

    THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS — Applied the brand on a global scale

    Across three deployments for a worldwide institution, I repositioned a mission brand for a lift in awareness and donations, built brand systems that still run across the global enterprise years later, and trained teams across three continents.

    ANCESTRY — Built my foundation and a global brand

    I joined Ancestry early in my career and, over my years there, helped transform a niche records product into a globally recognized consumer brand — building the performance-creative and brand-systems disciplines that have defined every role since.

We brought the NRG brand to life with solutions that changed how the story could be told and a rich foundation based on values and core attributes first, followed by world-class expressions.

This special group of talented, creative minds inspired the Vivint brand to become more powerful than ever leading into the NRG acquisition.

My foundation of creative excellence and the strategic impact of creative on a brand's value started here. We mixed agency-quality campaign work with performance-based CRO and email work to set Ancestry up as a household name long after we all moved on from the organization.

About

I am here to build teams to outlast me.

Twenty-five years, five industries, one throughline: I reposition brands, then build the in-house teams that keep them exceptional long after I’m gone.

Twenty-five years, five industries, one throughline: I reposition brands, then build the in-house teams that keep them exceptional long after
I’m gone.

Right now I am looking for the next one: a senior brand and creative leadership role — VP of Creative, Chief Brand Officer, or CMO — at a company that treats brand as a business asset rather than a service function.

Get in touch

If you’re hiring a leader to reposition your brand — or to build the team behind it — let’s talk.

Open to VP of Creative, Chief Brand Officer, and CMO conversations. Remote or based in Utah, and comfortable operating across a distributed enterprise.
