“Prior to joining NM, I worked for an agency in town and NM was a client of ours. So I had the opportunity to really understand the direction the company was going. I had a pretty good sense of the fact that they were innovating and evolving. You don’t stay in business for that long without pushing boundaries in terms of where you want to go next. Joining the company, I was able to see that even more.”
