Executive communities

I built and stewarded long-running executive communities—including The List, the AI Advisory Council for CMOs, and Ad Age Amp—designed to convene senior leaders around peer learning, mentorship, and real-time industry challenges, blending editorial rigor with live events, research, and honors that shaped conversation and connection across marketing, media, and technology.

The List

The List is Ad Age’s flagship executive community, launched in partnership with Meta in 2019, convening senior marketing, media, and creative leaders for peer-driven learning, mentorship, and collaboration. Through editorial franchises like “The Modern CMO Playbook,” live events at Advertising Week New York, Cannes Lions, and the Sundance Film Festival, and the Generation Next mentorship program, The List fostered candid dialogue around leadership, DEI, innovation, and the future of marketing at the highest levels. Beginning in 2024, The List’s monthly Zoom meetings became the foundation for the cohort’s thought leadership while also providing a safe listening space for members to share pain points and potential solutions.

The AI Advisory Council for CMOs

Co-created with Revmatics in 2025, the AI Advisory Council for CMOs is a senior executive forum designed to help marketing leaders move beyond experimentation toward real operational impact with AI. The council brought together 15 CMOs and transformation leaders from Fortune 500 companies and and innovative challenger brands to explore agentic AI, data strategy, governance, and organizational change—fueling original reporting, executive roundtables, and forward-looking frameworks for AI-powered marketing leadership.

Ad Age Amp

Amp is Ad Age’s membership-driven community focused on agency leaders, creatives, and strategists navigating the business and culture of advertising. Through timely industry conversations, event coverage, and recurring recognition moments, Amp created a shared space for insight and perspective—while Studio 30 helped foster and extend that community through its monthly Amp Spotlight editorial series, translating member sentiment, trends, and moments into journalistic storytelling.
