Considering she has a reputation as a Ritz-Carlton type of gal, TMP's Southeast Region RVP Lesley DeCanio is actually a skilled camper. Yes, that's right, out in the wilderness, pitching tents, swatting flies, roasting marshmallows - the whole 9. Who'd a thought?
Well, when she's not conquering the great outdoors, Lesley's helping TMP's Southeast Region reel in some of our biggest clients - Burger King, Disney and Carnival Cruise Lines to name just a few. So what keeps the Cuban native everlastingly driven? Lesley knows that in advertising you're only as good as your last campaign or media plan. So in other words, there's no resting on your laurels in our Miami office!
It's funny, because while Lesley shares absolutely no physical resemblance to the famed Jedi knight Yoda, that happens to be her office nickname. It's just that she's a perceptive individual with an intuition that's quite Yoda-like. And when you consider that her team cleaned up at this year's TMP Awards, winning The Highest Growth Office, the woman clearly knows how to use the Force! Whether it's her passion for interior design (she built an addition on her home when she ran out of rooms to adorn) or travel (Egypt, Italy, France, Spain and Greece checker her passport), Lesley vive la vida a pleno! To all of us monolinguists, that means she lives life to the fullest.
Lesley's Second Life name is Morell Jewell - chat with her about her philosophy on life, her work, her travels, or her favorite fabrics or Star Wars film.
