Client Development Manager

Ed brings an innate passion for people and service to his work. His enthusiasm for culture change is infectious and energizes clients as he partners with them in crafting culture strategies that enable new learning and insight within their organizations. As a liaison between clients and account leaders, Ed fosters an awareness of Senn Delaney's growing capabilities to serve clients' current and future needs.

He has managed successful initiatives with some of Senn Delaney's longest-standing clients, including Atmos Energy, Burger King Corporation, Nationwide Insurance, Norfolk Southern and Limited Brands, as well more recent engagements with such clients as Chase Card Services and The Ohio State University. Ed places a high priority on a strong culture as a means for clients to achieve their strategic objectives, and as a distinct competitive advantage in today's challenging, ever-evolving marketplace.

Ed began his career in Hollywood as a post-production account manager, guiding studio producers through the finishing process of successful modern films and television. His entrepreneurial nature led Ed to start his own creative services firm. His dynamic copywriting and public-speaking skills served as a foundation for consulting with clients on many subjects ranging from interpersonal communications to grassroots internet activism.

Ed received a Bachelor of Science in communications media from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he was selected a National Collegiate Communications Scholar. In 2007, Ed was chosen as a National Youth Mentor for Monster's Making It Count program. He travelled across California to offer students of inner-city public and charter schools free workshops on college admissions.

Ed lives with his girlfriend Christina in Long Beach, California. He enjoys traveling, learning languages and music, and self development. Ed speaks German fluently and has lived and worked abroad. A once self-proclaimed Army brat, Ed is thrilled to call California a place to grow his roots and, most importantly, “home.”
