Ms. Morello is an advertising executive celebrating nearly three decades of success as the chief executive officer and president of Manhattan Media Services, Inc.

Ms. Morello is a member of the Performance-Driven Marketing Institute, the DRMA, the ERA, and the National Association of Professional Women. She credits her rise in the industry to her drive and determination, emphasizing the need to remain enthusiastic despite challenges and constant change.
