As President and co-owner of Simantel, I’ve spent over two decades helping some of the world’s most respected brands solve complex marketing challenges. From global mining campaigns for Caterpillar to digital health strategies for OSF HealthCare and economic development initiatives for Greater Peoria, I lead with curiosity, clarity, and a deep belief in the power of partnership.
At the heart of Simantel is our brand promise: The Agency of And. It reflects how we show up — integrating strategy and creativity, business outcomes and brand love, ambition and authenticity.
Beyond Simantel, I serve as President of the Americas Board for AMIN Worldwide, a global alliance of independent marketing firms. I’m passionate about shaping the future of our industry through collaboration, purpose-driven leadership, and operational excellence.
I’m also the host of Marketing Sweats, a podcast where we get real about the hard work behind marketing success, and the founder of The Misty Effect, a coaching platform focused on helping leaders be kinder to themselves while navigating growth and change.
I believe in using business as a force for good — elevating communities, building resilient teams, and sparking meaningful progress.
