My news to share

After over a decade, I’ll be leaving Siegel+Gale in January 2024.

The decision to depart my dream job wasn’t easy. That’s because of my commitment to our team, the CMO community and the craft of building brands— all of which have made my days at Siegel+Gale deeply fulfilling.?

When I joined Siegel+Gale in 2013, my vision was to raise the bar for our industry by elevating the conversation about brand building in ways that were useful to the global marketing community, by creating environments rich in education and entertainment and by connecting people through public and private, online and in-person gatherings.

We built our award-winning International Women’s Day program and extended it to highlight brands and inclusive storytelling across many identities and underrepresented groups. We leaned into the Siegel+Gale founding principle that “simple is smart” and expanded the reach and relevance of the platform through press coverage, thought leadership, events and digital presence. We grew the Siegel+Gale brand and our business by helping brand leaders realize the power of simplicity.

None of this would be possible without the unwavering dedication of our Siegel+Gale teams across every discipline and region to delivering great work for our clients.

Ours is a business where success must be centered on client work. Every day, I’ve learned from and been inspired by your talent and tenacity.

In short, it’s been my privilege to showcase our people, our work and our community.

Thank you to Howard Belk and David Srere for your partnership through economic cycles and for leading a profitable firm anchored in the values of smart, nice, unstoppable and inclusive.

Thank you to my colleagues on the leadership team, Philip Davies , Jason Cieslak Michael Gross and Lori Almeida, Esq (she/her) for your collaboration in achieving ambitious goals and your encouragement when we hit speed bumps along the way.

Thank you to my Siegel+Gale teammates for believing in me, challenging me and, most of all, making me proud to call Siegel+Gale my professional home for the past decade. I will continue to be your cheerleader.

Special shoutout to our global Marketing/Business Development team and alumni. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you. Thank you for your commitment to our team’s guiding principles of excellence in execution, unrelenting teamwork, making it simple for our stakeholders, finding joy in the moments and always choosing kindness. Importantly, thank you for caring about the people we touch along the way as well as our impact— and for the wisdom to know the relationship between the two.

To our clients, industry partners, Omnicom colleagues, marketing community, CMOs and LinkedIn friends, thank you for supporting me, for stretching me and especially for trusting me.

I’ve always been fueled by curiosity and conversation—the innate desire to ask questions and listen to the answers, to convene people and to act based on learning from the community. The hardest part can be knowing when it’s time to begin a new chapter. For me, it’s time. It’s time to ask new questions, explore new possibilities and make new contributions.

I look forward to updating you on my adventures in 2024. For now, it’s thank you, Siegel+Gale.
