I head Team One’s Finance Department, overseeing a staff dedicated to coordinating with Agency and Client teams to ensure accurate, timely accounting of all jobs in progress. After several years in the New York office of Saatchi & Saatchi, I was promoted to succeed Saatchi LA’s longtime head of finance, Lew Katz, who announced his retirement in late 2008. Prior to joining Saatchi & Saatchi in New York, I worked in the Finance Group of Toys “R” Us, a leading retailer. I hail from Minnesota and New Jersey. I received my bachelor’s degree in finance from Providence College in Rhode Island and my M.B.A. from Iona College in New York.
