It’s not often someone begins their advertising career in business development, but Ashley’s anything but typical. Just three months into her first job, she negotiated her first client/agency partnership. As a Principal at COHO, she heads business development and manages the digital and social media teams. Her background in strategy and planning provides a unique perspective as she approaches new opportunities.

Ashley came to CoHo via LA, where she led strategy on some of the world’s most dynamic brands—Audi, Nissan, Infiniti, Fatburger, Bosch home appliances, VCA Animal Hospitals, SKYY Vodka, and World Gym, to name a few. Ashley’s personal and professional life come together while navigating grocery aisles and menus with celiac disease. It isn’t easy today, but doing it before few outside the medical community had even heard of it is even more challenging. But that’s Ash. Her life depends on her diligence—something she brings to bear on all aspects of it. Even work. She explores intrepidly—in search of what is exactly right for all of us.

Ashley never stops moving. Whether chasing her young children or her youngish husband, competing in semi-pro ballroom dancing or heli-skiing in her favorite place, Jackson Hole. She played Division I soccer at SMU, helping her team win four straight conference titles. And also completed degrees in advertising and psychology.
