“Everette is a powerhouse CMO. As Artsy's first CMO, he elevated the Artsy brand from a "tech company in the art world" to a luxury, art-first brand on the cutting edge of art collecting. Everette is a motivator, a mentor, a visionary, and a powerful voice. He champions his customers, understands them deeply, and will not back down representing them in key business decisions. Everette is also an exceptional steward of talent. Everette made several key hires that brought the marketing team at Artsy to the next level, while mentoring internal talent to move up to the next level. He is an incredible asset to any executive team and I've been lucky to be able to work with him.”
