Pursued the global Creative Excellence agenda by leveraging the initiatives I created as Program Manager, including central award shows effort and creative network management.Became Rob Reilly's aide-de-camp, helping him to navigate the network, overseeing content and quality of his content for internal and external use and progressively acting as his proxy for special projects.In addition, the Diversity & Inclusion group I created, McCann Q, grew to over 100 members from its founding three members in under 18 months. I acted as a Change Agent by ensuring partnerships with LGBT organizations, confirming top-management support and culminated by spearheading McCann Worldgroup's first walk in the NYC Pride Parade in June 2014, for the first time in its history.​​

I'm a culture builder. Starting off from a creative standpoint, using our creative-judging organ and other related projects (digital assets management, HR projects and Creative trainings for “suits”), I sought to increase the group’s global commitment to creativity and raise internal awareness of our creative standards of excellence. I have since taken on the role of "Mr. Awards" within the network, helping 120+ Creative Directors to better channel their efforts, by finding funds for their entries, and working with judges. I represent McCann Worldgroup at major global shows, and the content I produce for our internal social network (Yammer) has resonated deeply within the network, making me the "Most Liked Member" of the community.I proactively expanded my scope of work (and therefore, my playground) with Marketing and culture-building projects like the creation of a brand-advocate community throughout the global network, the creation of a McCann Worldgroup diversity & inclusion group and I'm currently igniting a new initiative spanning on an American and European scale.By leveraging the European connections I had from my time at McCann Paris, all the while creating new ones, I have become a key central contact for new business, communications and creative teams from all around the world.
