After more than two decades at IPG, across a number of companies and positions - the time is right for me to turn the page. I am super excited at what the future has in store. I sent a note to friends and colleagues that went something like this:
__________________________________________________

“Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened” – End of summer at my kids camp
There is just so much that could be said in this note, but I will keep it short and to the point. After 21 truly rewarding years at IPG, from the early days of digital at Thunder House to Zentropy Partners, UM and MAGNA - the time is right for me to move on to my next adventure. Our industry is witnessing unprecedented disruption, and in that disruption lies opportunity. That opportunity is exciting, and I hope to share details with you on my next role in the near future.
I have absolutely no doubt that MAGNA will continue to thrive. I will watch it with admiration, and look forward to great things ahead.
My last day at MAGNA will be July 1st. Thank you for your partnership, your friendship and your support.
