Colleen Patty

Throughout the time at VML, my role has evolved as I tackle larger responsibilities of leadership and ownership but the responsibilities under account management remain rooted in the same task. Thus, experience is only filled out under my current role.

Recent accomplishment: During a time of client budget cuts, I was able to push through a 12% YoY revenue increase to our annual scope.
