Background

About Darcy Obrien

With a proven track record of strategic marketing success, I thrive on translating complex ideas into compelling stories that resonate with audiences. As the Chief Marketing Officer at Simon Quick, I've been driving marketing and communications initiatives since 2015. As an AI enthusiast and efficiency-driven leader, I apply emerging technologies to optimize processes. I built the marketing department at Simon Quick from scratch, managing resources to deliver marketing results on budget and on-time. I'm passionate about crafting and executing strategic marketing plans that drive growth and enhance brand reputation. In my role, I oversee a range of functions including content development, organic and paid digital marketing strategies, events, and social media management. My goal is to elevate our brand presence and foster deeper connections with our audience while staying true to our company's vision and values. My career in financial services began at Aspiriant LLC in Los Angeles, where I developed a reputation as an operational and logistical thinker—honing skills in trade execution and account management while identifying opportunities to streamline processes and drive efficiency. After gaining valuable experience in operations and client services, I pursued further education in marketing strategy, earning marketing certificates from Cornell University and Columbia Business School's CMO Program. Outside of the office, I'm an avid runner, beach enthusiast, and devoted friend, daughter, and sister. With a Bachelor's degree in English and Sociology from Bucknell University, I bring a unique blend of creativity and analytical thinking to everything I do.
