Summary

As an Account Executive at Bell Media, I leveraged my 25+ years of experience in the Canadian media industry to build and maintain strong relationships with key clients and partners. I applied my creative problem solving, dedication, and drive to deliver customized and innovative solutions that met their needs and exceeded their expectations.

My customer-focused mind-set, strategy and opportunity seizing skills, and industry knowledge earned me several recognitions throughout my career, including the prestigious Bell Media “President’s Club” award in 2018. I am passionate about out-of-home advertising and its potential to reach and engage audiences in impactful ways. I am currently looking for opportunities to utilize my expertise and competencies in a new and challenging environment.
