During her 35-year career at Grey, Nancy has distinguished herself, first as a producer and a Production Group Head and currently as the Director of Broadcast, overseeing the company's entire Production Department - the largest broadcast production group in the agency business.

She's comfortable working in categories as various as beauty products and automobiles, and her breakthrough work on demanding and innovative commercials for Kool-Aid, Canon, Timex, AMC/Renault, and Procter & Gamble have made her a much sought-after resource for Grey's many creative teams. They've also garnered her just about every award in the business: numerous Andys, Addys, One Show, Clios and other industry awards, and a Cannes Lion for the Renault Alliance "Park Avenue" execution. She was also named to the 1985 Adweek Creative All-Star Team.

Most recently, Nancy devotes most of her time and talent to overseeing all of Grey New York's production, as well as the production for many of our global clients. She is also a key resource for new business. She has great interest in the new technologies, digital asset management and the various new media offerings. Nancy also takes great pride in her mentoring programs for young creative people and producers. She is currently working to encourage, mentor and promote a greater multicultural presence in the advertising and production industry.
