Press Release: Strong Growth has Bounteous Expand Executive Team
Promotes Mike Brown to the newly-created role of Chief Client Officer to support growth
CHICAGO, September 18, 2019 – Bounteous, a leading insights-driven digital experience agency, today announced the appointment of Mike Brown as the agency’s first Chief Client Officer. This promotion comes as Bounteous continues to experience strong growth across its offices in Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Toronto.
In the newly-created position, Brown plays a critical role in leading Bounteous’ client management team across the agency’s digital brand experience suite. Brown previously served as president of Bounteous Canada and is the former Chief Growth Officer for ICF Olson and president of its Canadian subsidiary.
“Mike has a rich history of helping companies like Bounteous scale client service, strategy, delivery, and marketing services while creating value for clients, so we believe he is an invaluable addition to our executive leadership team,” said Keith Schwartz, Bounteous co-founder and CEO. “We are excited about the strategic vision he brings to our clients, and his support of our steadfast growth at Bounteous.”
In 2019 alone, Bounteous added more than 50 clients across its combined services in design, strategy, solution engineering, analytics, and marketing services in North America. In concert with Brown’s new role, Bounteous created an integrated Client organization to support the agency’s ability to provide more strategic advice to clients and deliver broad, integrated solutions to its expanding client roster.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to lead our Client organization and join our executive leadership in moving Bounteous forward by focusing on helping our customers realize value through our services, co-innovation initiatives, and holistic support,” said Brown. “Our talent is second-to-none, and I’m excited to work with our teams on the businesses of each of our clients, as well as growing both our talent and long-term client relationships.”
Brown’s appointment follows the promotion of Dave Mankowski to Chief Growth Officer in February 2019. Mankowski and Brown are part of a prestigious team of executives within Bounteous, including CEO Keith Schwartz; Chief Strategy Officer Chris Westall; Chief Financial Officer Jeff Wink; SVP of Client Service Les Winograd; SVP of Vertical Solutions John Telford; SVP of Engineering Seth Dobbs; and a deep set of additional digital leaders within the company.
