She has worked in many different divisions of our company and consistently brings a fresh, creative and fearless attitude to the role. She’s not afraid to try new things and most importantly, she understands the importance that people play in moving a company forward.”

“It’s an exciting time to be at Effectv and I’m honored to be leading the charge in making sure we hire, retain and nurture the industry’s best to lead us into this new chapter,” Reisbeck said. “People are a company’s biggest competitive advantage and my team and I will be on the lookout for top talent.”
