Describe a moment in your career that you would consider ‘innovative.’
In 2009, I got Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, to be our guest speaker at the H+K Cannes Lions seminar. It was the very first year PR was part of the Festival and we were the first big PR network to be on the main Palais stage. This was well before Twitter even had any ad products. But we knew that Twitter would be a critical platform for brand communication and brand reputation.

Content & creative.
How would you describe the communications/PR industry’s level of innovation?

All of the above: CEO, CMO, CCO, agency.
Who is your mentor and why?
