Most recently, Jenkyn was CEO of Media Experts, where he led the company’s transformation into a data-driven, client-centric media agency, positioning it for success in an ever-evolving industry. His diverse experience encompasses both the vendor and non-profit sectors and has led digital initiatives for Canoe.ca, Excite Canada, Standard Interactive, Microsoft and The Globe and Mail, among others.
