Career highlights
Leo ran an AOL community site as a kid, before social media existed as a concept. That early instinct for online community turned into a full career at the intersection of marketing and technology.
He started at JWT during the MySpace era, then spent three years at 360i running Oreo's social media internationally. While there, his team set the first Guinness World Record ever achieved through social media. They also wrote the Oreo Blackout Tweet during Super Bowl XLVII: "Power out? No problem. You can still dunk in the dark." It got 10,000 retweets in under an hour, with zero paid support, and won a Cannes Lion and a CLIO.
He moved into MarTech and SaaS, leading Forrester Wave evaluations and running platform training for Mondelez across 50 countries, 30+ brands, and 10 languages. He also worked in-house at Hormel Foods and at international agency Build & Inspire.
Today Leo leads social media and influencer marketing in-house for major brands and sits on the AI Center of Excellence for a Fortune 500 company. He has taught digital marketing and MarTech as an adjunct professor at Iowa State University and West Virginia University.
