Bio:
A New Yorker at heart with a West Coast sense of possibility, Kristina has toured both coasts, starting her advertising career in NYC at Ammirati Puris Lintas, jumping to RPA in Santa Monica, back to mcgarrybowen in New York as that agency’s Cultural Intelligence Officer, and finally landing at Zambezi in Los Angeles to lead their strategy team. She has inspired brands like Honda, Disney, Kraft, Reebok, Verizon, Autotrader and Marriott to push their thinking to brave places by exploring trends.
