Jarrod Cady

I joined the TELUS Digital team in January 2023 with the acquisition of WillowTree. I had been with WillowTree, a leading digital product agency, since 2018, first as a Vice President of Business Development, then as SVP of Commercial Strategy & Operations (where I founded the Pursuit Studio, our multidisciplinary team supporting major RFPs and strategic account growth). I was most recently Chief Marketing Officer. Today, I lead the global marketing organization for TELUS Digital, with responsibility across brand and content marketing, demand generation, product marketing, communications and analyst relations, and commercial strategy.

My career began at Monitor Group, the global strategy consultancy, where I spent over a decade working across the marketing strategy and innovation & design practices. From there, I joined American Express, where I held product management and strategy roles on the commercial side of the business — leading vPayment, a digital-first business payment product, and the Corporate Purchasing Card, and serving on the strategic planning team for OPEN, the small business card division.

I hold a B.S. in Commerce with distinction from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce, and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where I was a Siebel Scholar. I live in Charlottesville, Virginia with my wife Jill and our two boys. When I'm not working, I'm usually playing tennis, skiing or hiking the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains.
