Account Director - East Region

Ethology’s  Account Directors hold a pretty important role. They’re the head of  client accounts, drivers of change, solution ­oriented thinkers,  advisers to clients on all things business strategy, and the ones who  rally Ethologists to think bigger, do better, and achieve more. In  short, they live by one motto: Put our clients first, or someone else  will.
