The SVP, Performance Media is a senior growth leader responsible for driving scalable, accountable growth across a complex, multi-market, always-on business. This role blends commercial rigor, channel fluency, and operational leadership with a sharp focus on subscription-like customer models, lifetime value, and continuous optimization.

Client Leadership & Influence

• Serve as a senior strategic partner to client leadership, bringing a proactive POV on growth, risks, and opportunities
• Lead high-stakes planning discussions, QBRs, and executive reviews with clarity, confidence, and commercial acumen
