Tony serves as Executive Director of Client Partnerships and is responsible for the quality of delivery and profitability of all professional services projects, ensuring that the Client Partnership team is set up for success to meet client goals and objectives on a variety of initiatives. He works closely with department heads throughout the organization to ensure that the agency has staff members properly resourced on all projects to best guarantee client and Imaginuity success. “I get so much energy out of working with Imaginarians and clients to figure out the answer to some challenge that is holding a company back, or that could change the way they go to market and serve their customers, or that creates new efficiencies so they can do more with less,” Tony says.
Tony graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in Business Science and Management Information Systems. He has spent 20 years leading strategic planning, direction, and implementation for a wide set of clients, including SonicWall, Jones Lang LaSalle, Otterbox, TXU Energy, and Entrust since joining Imaginuity. Regarding what he enjoys most about Imaginuity, Tony says, “The people, hands down. It is a collection of smart, talented people who genuinely care about each other and the clients they work with. Beyond the intellect and hard work, I see on a daily basis people reaching down to pick someone up who made a mistake or fell behind in workload; or I see people propping other people up when they do something great for the team or their client, sharing the success so others can go try to do the same.”
Outside of Imaginuity, Tony enjoys coaching his kids and their friends in various youth sports. “I stay active with recreational sports, the occasional round of golf or an intense game of ‘horse’ in pool basketball with my kids. If it’s date night with my wife, chances are I’m in my boots and there is live music involved. My sports-fan pinnacle (so far) was watching my beloved Chicago Cubs win the World Series!” Tony also considers himself to be lucky to be a part of a group of friends who host annual fundraisers for breast cancer research and Alzheimer’s disease research.
