About Christian Carrillo

Nice to meet you! My name is Christian Carrillo, MBA, MFA and I am a San Diego-based brand-builder and marketing leader with experience leading brands across industries and sectors. I’m currently a Senior Manager, Brand at Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. stewarding legendary entertainment and lifestyle properties Dr. Seuss, The Lorax, The Sneeches, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! and the adorable Dr. Seuss Babies! In addition to leading our incredible brands, I oversee our Consumer Research, Brand Strategy, and Educator programs. I bring a background blending the art and science of brand building. Building brands with heart, that connect, and that resonate with people. Building brands that are led by data, insights, and a fresh approach to strategy that helps brands drive meaningful action. Because when brands understand people, they don\'t just communicate. they connect. Before building brands, I was building speed as a member of the U.S. Men’s National Team for Sprint Flatwater Kayak, and a U.S. National Champion. That same discipline, creativity, and drive that powered me on the water now fuels how I help brands find their flow, stand out, and connect with audiences in meaningful ways.CliftonStrengths: Learner | Restorative | Individualization | Analytical | Responsibility
