Herbst-Brady has a talent for listening to clients, understanding what they are looking for and identifying turnkey solutions that deliver results.

What/who inspires you at work? What/who inspires you outside the office?

My children are my greatest inspiration. At Viacom, I’m surrounded by the best in the business and work with an unbelievable team of talented partners that love what they do. Sarah Iooss (SVP, Velocity Product Group) and Kalina Nikolova (SVP Strategy) are inspiring; they have an exceptional work ethic, steadfast commitment and always bring positivity into the office every day.

 

Your favorite trick for unwinding?
