Bio

“Jay is one of the sharpest minds in the industry.” — Nick Law, VP, Marcom, Apple

I built the advertising capability within R/GA.
I’ve been an executive-level creative leader and a tech CMO.
I’m a digital/advertising and strategy/execution hybrid.
I specialize in simplifying the complex and bringing vision to life.
I’ve won every industry award.
I live at the intersection of story, strategy, media, and technology.

I was recently CMO of a tech platform being built by Publicis Groupe, one of the world’s biggest advertising holding companies, a project that CEO Arthur Sadoun has called the most important project of his career.

I helped lead the creative department at R/GA for ten years, and accomplished a lot there, including building the advertising capability within the agency, developing a strategic framework used globally to drive innovative work, and winning innumerable creative awards.

I’ve been involved in the internet since the earliest days of the Web and still believe the Internet has the potential to transform the world for the better.
