The Team

Mia Walters

Chief Operating Officer

Sean Folan

SVP, Health Industry Leader

Sean was on hand to see Kirk Gibson's iconic pinch-hit, walk-off homerun for the Los Angeles Dodgers in game 1 of the 1988 World Series, one of the most pivotal moments in modern sports. Today, Sean is almost always on hand to help clients find pivotal moments and connections that promote brand growth.

As the leader of Cronin's Health practice, Sean directs cross-functional teams to meet the ever-changing challenges of our health industry clients. in the development of integrated, omni-channel marketing campaigns targeting consumers/patients, healthcare providers, advocacy groups, and economic stakeholders. His experience spans across hospitals and health systems, provider networks, public health, payers, pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, and consumer health.

Sean is currently involved in a number of community organizations that serve those in need, including Harvard Business School Community Partners and the Knights of Columbus. In his spare time, Sean enjoys the outdoors: walking, hiking, swimming, biking. His love of new places and cultures has led him to visit over 20 countries.

While attending the University of Virginia, Sean served as chairperson of the school's vaunted Honor System. We weren't sure exactly where to put this in his bio but felt it was impressive!

Katie Lukas

VP, Strategy & Research

AnnMarie Kemp

SVP, Communications

As a diehard Yankees fan married to a diehard Red Sox fan, AnnMarie knows a thing or two about overcoming challenges. As Cronin's SVP of Communications, AnnMarie has made a career of meeting PR challenges head on, including spearheading the McDonald's business for 17 years. She has also overseen a host of other iconic brands like Dunkin', Loctite, Xerox, and Konica Minolta. AnnMarie has built a formidable team at Cronin that continues to push the limits of what's possible in public relations, social media and content marketing. Just like her Yankees, AnnMarie keeps swinging for the fences all season long.

Mark Demuro

President & CEO

Tracy Klimkoski

VP, Media

In her personal life, Tracy subscribes to JOMO or the Joy of Missing Out. Which loosely translated means she'd rather spend a cozy evening at home with her English Bulldog than almost anything else in the world. At Cronin, our VP of Media and Analytics doesn't miss on doing whatever it takes to put our clients in their best possible scenarios for success every chance she gets. Tracy always likes to visualize herself in her client's position and imagine what she'd do with their media dollars.

Paul Catanese

Executive Creative Director

“A wizard who conjures up the right words to an audience mesmerized and eager to find out more.”  No this isn't a plot line from one of Paul's ten published children's fantasy novels, it's actually a pretty accurate description of how this skillful copywriter goes about his craft. Paul has been with Cronin for more than two decades, putting out crowd-pleasing work for clients from Amica to Fred Hutch to Dartmouth Health. A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Paul is a home-grown talent with just the right magic your brand needs.

Lester Ayala

SVP, Director of Integrated Production

Sandy

Chief Motivating Officer

Sandy wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth; it was actually a tin can. Sandy was brought in to Cronin to remind us that we're goats, not sheep. And to inspire us to be more agile, curious, independent and adventurous. In the goat world, Sandy is truly the G.O.A.T. and we're darn lucky to have her.

Elizabeth Proctor

VP, Financial Services Leader

On any given Saturday this fall, you can probably find Cronin's VP, Financial Services Leader, cheering wildly as she watches her beloved Alabama Crimson Tide on the football field. The only weird thing about this is that Elizabeth actually attended the University of Georgia. When Elizabeth isn't busy betraying her school by rooting for its arch-rival, she's usually helping to build blue-chip brands at Cronin like she has for ATT, Bank of America, Capital One and Toyota at various agencies over the past 20 years. Elizabeth believes her true calling is connecting brands with culture. Over her career, she's been part of impressive sponsorship opportunities with American Idol, MLB, PGA and the US Open. All we can say is “Roll Tide.”

Katharine Laban

Director, People & Culture

When the great Katharine Hepburn offered a shivering Coast Guardsmen a cup of tea, it impressed him. So much in fact, that he named his first-born daughter after her. And that's how the woman we call the world's best Human Resource Director got her name. Over the years, Katharine has built Cronin's HR department from the ground up, bringing in the diverse group of free-thinkers and initiating the programs that make our agency such a fun place to work. When Katharine's not fostering the perfect creative environment at Cronin, she's quite the foodie and enjoys cooking and eating cuisine from around the world. Katharine likes to say that “kindness always wins.”  Have a cup of tea with her sometime, and you'll see what she means.

Tom Lichaj

Director, Solutions Architecture
