Heather Malenshek

Born and raised in Scotland, I consider myself a true citizen of the world having lived in multiple countries and now calling the US my home and point of citizenship. I was raised with a strong work ethic and an inherent curiosity about the world and the people who inhabit it.

In my professional life I am a C-Level global strategic marketing executive with a sterling record of unparalleled success in designing and implementing marketing strategies for companies and organizations that drives business growth. I possess deep, diverse and rich experience in defining and implementing best practices and generating the critical emotional connection with well-known brands and products.

Honored to be recognized by Forbes as one of the world’s most influential CMOs in 2018 and 2019.

I have applied my diverse skill set and cultural understanding to a wide range of categories and brands in my marketing career. I have been fortunate enough to work for iconic and mission driven brands including Jeep, Mars, Budweiser, Bud Light, Harley-Davidson and Land O'Lakes to name just a few. My work has enabled me to engage in categories as broad as Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, Motorcycles, Automotive, Beer, Food, Agriculture, PetCare and Candy.

My ability to work across disciplines and cultures to build strong, enduring and highly successful teams is well proven both on the client and agency side of the business. I'm known as an influential, collaborative and adaptive leader with a strong business, strategic and creative acumen. I believe in servant leadership and unleashing the potential in teams. I am passionate, pragmatic and authentic in my approach.

I believe in serving others and making a positive impact in the world through my words and actions.

A self confessed Gearhead at heart with a true passion for anything with a motor but particularly for those with two wheels and a desire to do whatever I can to advocate for animals. Currently learning how to work with horses in the equine therapy field to help veterans with PTSD.
