WeinsteinDuring a 24-year career with a prominent firm in the financial services industry, Ari rose in the ranks from graphic designer to vice president. As a manager, he hired, trained, and developed talented people who went on to work in leadership and executive roles. Throughout his corporate career, Ari honed his branding expertise as he took on new management responsibilities in different areas of the company, including technology, finance, and operations. Ari launched several new operational functions and led award-winning teams of specialists. Starting up new functions in a large company required clear branding and messaging, including titles, role descriptions, mission statements, and infographics.
