OWN IT is a group of female and non-binary advertising professionals committed to making changes that uplift and empower underrepresented groups in the industry—especially when it comes to agency ownership. The group gathers at the annual summit to dig deep into the business of advertising and increase women’s presence in this industry.
Dorothy is the President of HATCH Talent, HATCH’s full-service talent recruiting and placement arm. Before joining HATCH, Dorothy’s senior leadership positions included standing up an in-house agency, talent recruiting, production, new business development, creative and project management.
Dorothy’s culminative hands-on creative industry experience has provided a thorough understanding of what type of talent is really needed for specific roles and enables her to find the best matched talent. She knows having the right talent in place will ultimately affect a brands success and enjoys partnering with her clients to solve their unique hiring challenges. Dorothy has always been a champion for creative talent at all levels and takes great pride in watching the careers of those in her network progress.
