I started working with Liz well before she founded HighPoint—back when I was client-side and she led client service for our account. I knew right away that I liked her. Liz has this disarming quality that makes people feel instantly comfortable around her, even in the most corporate settings. As we worked together more, what I came to appreciate about Liz is her exceptional blend of high EQ and high IQ that enables her to connect the dots in conversations, suggest strategic solutions, and make everyone on the team feel heard. When I heard about the agency she and Katherine we’re building at HighPoint, I knew I wanted to be part of it.

Liz has worked with companies of all types—from international pharmaceutical giants to early-stage medical device start-ups. Working side-by-side with Liz, I’ve had the chance to see utilizes her vast experience to advocate for ambitious strategies that are still grounded in pragmatism. In a nutshell, she takes big picture thinking and turns it into cogent and comprehensive plans that drive our clients’ success.

Anyone lucky enough to work with Liz learns quickly that beyond her exceptional professionalism, she is one of the warmest, genuinely caring, and absolutely hilarious people you’ll ever meet. She’s always got a story about the hijinks of her ever-expanding farm family (so many horses, cats, dogs, hamsters, probably other animals that I’m forgetting), and her human family (2 kids and one very cool husband).

How do I tell you about Katherine? I might focus on her ability to take data, research, and interviews and coalesce all of those insights into the most brilliant messaging. I could tell you about how she can facilitate a global planning session and unite a diverse team to support a single strategic vision. I might mention how exciting it is to build out strategies and programs together, seeing our vision come to life and deliver jaw-dropping results.

When we’re doing introductions, I usually just say Katherine is my partner in crime. What I mean is that partnering with Katherine to build HighPoint Experience was one of the easiest and best decisions of my career. Since we met over 5 years ago, we’ve seen eye-to-eye about developing our structure and team to offer clients better support, stronger strategy, and more motivating creative.

As a business partner, an agency leader, and as a champion for our clients, Katherine is truly unparalleled. She is very committed to doing excellent work, but equally determined to make the experience of working as fun as possible. Clients love having her on calls because she can break down complex problems and work out a stepwise approach to solving the situation. I love having her on calls because she’s deeply knowledgeable and wickedly funny.

Katherine’s knowledge comes from having worked in nearly every specialty in healthcare. It’s grown through her voracious reading, and it’s rounded out by her love of everything pop culture. If you really want to make her day, ask her about her pottery or her plants—which fill the home she shares with her super-handy husband, 2 kids, 3 dogs, and 6 chickens.

The ultimate multihyphenate of our healthcare agency, Mariano is the head of design, head of branding, and the digital expert on our team. Beyond these skills though, Mariano does so much more to help our team and our clients deliver their best work. Whether he’s helping our clients align their strategic priorities with their digital outreach program, discussing the finer points of design theory, or putting the finishing touches on the most beautiful and usable sales tool you’ve ever seen in your life, Mariano elevates everything he touches, perpetually raising the bar and turning around work that exceeds our clients’ highest expectations.

The most unflappable charm parts of working with Mariano at HighPoint are his relentless curiosity and collaborative approach. As soon as new technology hits his radar, he’ll set to evaluating whether it’s a good fit for our clients or our team. He’s always ready to brainstorm ideas and talk through how a bold new idea could be brought into reality. And because he’s lead marketing in-house for several medical device companies, he knows exactly how to make the launches and marketing initiatives we work on more impactful for our client’s internal teams and customers.

As brilliant and talented as Mariano is, he’s also genuinely the kindest creative person I’ve ever met. He’s always patient, considerate, and open to new ideas. He has a wicked sense of humor and will find the most hilarious bits in the tiniest details. Of course, he would humbly attribute his unflappable charm to being from Canada (where he lives in Toronto with his brilliant wife, son, and 2 dogs named after Harry Potter characters), but it’s just the way he’s built.
