Emily O. Weltman, M. Ed.'s Linkedin Analytics

Now: I strive to be engaged, authentic and conscious of the world and people around me. I believe creative work is about moving the needle towards equal opportunity, shared voices, safe spaces and economic empowerment for all. I manage multidisciplinary project teams on a huge range of creative work. I fuel them with donuts, gifs, emojis and celebrating the wins. I believe in a growth mindset and have never met a problem I didn't want to solve. I focus on the strengths of my team and leverage my own strengths as a driven leader, risk taker, straight talker and trusted advisor on all projects. I’ve managed through more reorgs than I can count and always come out smiling, happy that my team is where they should be: change is a great way to grow. ——— Then: I have worked in design for 25 years with nearly 20 years experience managing people and projects. I’m most fulfilled when facilitating creative work that causes positive impacts in people’s lives, but find joy in working on behemoth brands. I’ve partnered with CCO’s and Principals to drive change in their agencies and studios. In Grad school I began my journey with social justice issues around gender, race and economic disparities. While at W+K I had the opportunity to produce several important platforms addressing issues of inclusion, opportunities for women of color and gender equality, supporting and executing on the strategic and creative visions of strong female leaders and creators.
