The strongest creative execs I meet who are on the move don’t lead with, “I want to lead a team.”

They lead with a point of view: the business problem they’re itching to solve with creativity, and the gap they see in the market or in consumer attention that feels open right now. Then they add context, who they’ve been in service of, who they’ve partnered with, and what shift they were brought in to navigate.

Tell the business story first. Leadership is implied.
