About Carrie von der Sitt

I drive incremental revenue and win new business by leaning into the problems others avoid—something I\'ve honed across 30+ years leading accounts, operations, and now global growth at Golin. I build high-functioning teams that create earned-first work that breaks through, establish repeatable systems that deliver compounding results, and have led the agency\'s marketing function to its most recognized era, including history-making Cannes Lions recognition and triple global Agency of the Year honors.My approach: a deep understanding of the modern media landscape, an ability to build consensus across divergent stakeholders, and a knack for making complex challenges feel simple while making everyone around me better at what they do. I\'ve applied this formula to some of the world\'s biggest brands, including McDonald\'s, Unilever, Nestlé Purina, and Levi Strauss & Co.All while leading with the joy and kindness that embodies our agency value of being \"fiercely ambitious, yet fundamentally kind.\"
