A forward-thinking leader who approaches each project with determination and drive, Ed works closely with clients and CCA team members. He’s involved with nearly every aspect of CCA’s work, particularly in the realms of strategic direction and creative development.
Ed has extensive experience in marketing communications. Before joining CCA in 2001, he was senior vice president and managing director of the Wolf Group, Canada’s second-largest marketing conglomerate, where he handled projects for Kodak, Michelin Tires, Haagen-Dazs, Ray-Ban, Zippo, and Bausch and Lomb, among many others. Ed also established and led the Wolf Group’s first office in Atlanta, Georgia.
A strong believer in the power and promise of higher education, Ed draws on a deep understanding of consumer advertising to help colleges and universities advance their missions and build effective, integrated brands. He also strives to help client institutions cultivate lifelong relationships with current students, alumni, and other key stakeholders.
Ed earned a BA in English literature and education with honors at Saint Mary’s College of Maryland, and pursued graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University. When he’s not inspiring his team’s creative efforts, Ed can often be found at his cottage on Chautauqua Lake, collecting and restoring antique boats. He also serves on the boards of several theater and arts organizations.
