Bio
Saúl Trejo
I’ve had the privilege of working with Gail for over four years and during that time have seen her grow professionally — from being a behind the scenes team member focused on executional details to a reliable partner that’s client-facing and leading projects from concept through to execution. Gail has the characteristics of a strong account manager: personable, works excellently within team oriented environments, ensures budgets and timelines stay on track, and has awesome attention to detail! I was also highly impressed with her ability to review materials and provide input/direction for Spanish language content. I've truly enjoyed having Gail as my partner— I knew she always had my back and that’s why I feel confident recommending her and that she will be a valuable asset to her next team!

Gail is the modern-day prototype of what an Account Executive should be. As a creative working with her on day-to-day business at the creative level, it was because of her our creative was able to win over MillerCoors and able to push the limits. Her attention to detail helped refine presentations and maintained the gold standard that our work could be. If there was a typo she found it. If we had a question she would find the answer. Timelines and budgets were always on the top of her mind to be able to execute the work beyond the pitch phase. With her vast knowledge I highly recommend Gail and hope we get to work together in the future because she's just the best.
