Sejal Shah | Boomingdale, IL
Sejal Shah is a former Marketing Operations Manager at Leo Burnett & Arc Worldwide. She had the opportunity to work on multiple accounts and roles throughout her 15+ years with the company. While that was an invaluable experience for her, about three years ago, she decided to leave her corporate job to spend more time with her family and two kids (now 8 and 6). She still takes on some project-based work, which provides a nice balance and allows her to keep up in the Advertising/Marketing world.
