I build brands and companies that move culture and deliver business results. As CEO of My Code, I’m leading a media company and marketing agency built for growth audiences, the multicultural and multigenerational consumers who represent the fastest-growing and most culturally influential segments in America. We don’t just reach these audiences; we understand what drives them and how to engage them authentically at scale. https://mycodemedia.com/ I came to My Code from BBH USA, where as CEO I turned around the agency during COVID, achieving double-digit growth and scaling teams that delivered Cannes Lions-winning work including Glass Ceiling Breaker (honoring VP Kamala Harris) and Google’s Black Owned Friday. My approach to leadership was shaped across two decades at MTV, Capitol Music Group, Island Def Jam, and C.F. Martin Guitar—where I learned that the most powerful brands don’t chase culture, they shape it. That requires both creative excellence and commercial discipline. I’ve been recognized as Ad Age’s A-List Executive of the Year and honored by AdWeek, Campaign US, Billboard Women in Music, and Advertising Week. I’ve served as Jury President for both Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and Dubai Lynx, as well as Co-Chair and Grand Jury member for the Effie Awards and judge for the Clio Music Awards. I serve as an Independent Board Director at Fender Musical Instruments Corporation and on the board of Advertising Week New York. I’m also a founding Chief member.
My Code is the leading media company and marketing agency for growth audiences, the multicultural and multigenerational consumers reshaping American culture and commerce. Backed by Ariel Alternatives, we are the essential starting point for any brand seeking to credibly engage these consumers. While others optimize for a single demographic, we understand the full architecture of the modern household, where the Gen X breadwinner makes the purchase decision and the Gen Z family member makes the brand decision. We partner with Fortune 500 brands and agency holding companies to help them authentically reach the audiences already driving the market. Culture speaks. My Code listens. www.MyCodeMedia.com
Founding member of Chief, an invitation only private network focused on connecting and supporting women leaders.
