Bio
John Ledoux
Luke is the kind of leader you want to work for. While consulting for Luke at two companies (Renew Financial & Sunpower) I found Luke to have that perfect balance of open-mindedness and decisiveness. Add that to Luke's strategic vision, and ability to pull the right people together, and you have a winning combination. Being a marketing executive is incredibly difficult, especially in the rotating door that is Bay Area tech - Luke has the right formula!
Whitney Powell
I first had the pleasure of working with Luke when he was my client when I was on the agency side and then 5 years later he became my manager when I moved client-side. He is one of the best people to work with and for. He is always calm and thoughtful in his strategic approach. He helps drive and pushes those around him for excellence and results. He ensures that the people around him are heard and supported. He is someone that helps unite people towards a common goal and goes the extra mile to achieve it! I hope I get to work with him again!
