“I have the utmost respect for Jon, as a counterpart and as a person. Jon and I began our journey on VW in the same month. He led the digital team on the Creative AOR side and I led on the Media AOR side. We were able to breakdown the walls between agencies through honest communication and solutions-based collaboration. The quality of the marketing significantly improved and the business needs were exceeded. Jon's approach and professionalism are un-surpassed and I look forward to partnering with him again.”
