Jill leads the media pillar for Publicis Commerce and has over twenty-five years experience in the advertising/shopper/media space, spending the past decade in eCommerce. While most of her background has been on the agency side, she credits the years spent as VP of Sales for one of the retailer media networks (MyWebGrocer) as some of her most valuable – understanding both the advertising sales and data platforms as well as the retailer software side. She has led various agency teams across many different industries like energy, banking, telecom, but driving success for CPG brands like P&G, Tyson, GE, Mars and Hershey’s has been a focused sweet spot. (No pun intended.)

She is a multi Effie and Reggie award winner and was most recently recognized as a CampaignUS 40 over 40 Honoree.

While she is proud of the accolades that she and her teams have won, she cares most about being #1 Mama to her young daughter. She resides in New York City but hasn’t let go of her proud Texas roots.
