About Me.
Hello. I'm Vickie.
I’m an accomplished corporate marketing executive that helps companies get their best work into the world to drive revenue. My 25+ years of experience spans global financial services, commercial real estate, retail property development, an advertising agency, and a national nonprofit.
I excel at building trust, value, inspiration, and consistent performance. I thrive at the intersection of leadership, strategy, and transformation. I bring order to chaos.
Most recently, I served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Pacific Premier Bank and Pacific Premier Trust – NASDAQ: PPBI. I led our team through a merger with Umpqua Bank - now Columbia Bank - that closed September of 2025.
I laugh heartily and often, I walk my talk, and I love what I do.

The Work Around the Work.
This has been my passion project for some time now - conveying the tried and true tips and tricks I know about how to manage executives, boards, peers, subordinates, and vendor/partners in such a way that drives the very best possible outcomes.
Chock full of humor, real-life examples, and tangible advice you can immediately apply to your everyday work life, The Work Around the Work will help you sharpen your soft skills, which are in fact the hardest skills.
