Kristen McCoy, Executive Assistant to Lee Clow

What do you love most about this work environment?
"I have three Australian shepherds, and they all get to come to work with me every day. Having the dogs around is good stress relief for everyone; some people who visit my dogs know their names, but not mine. Ha!"

What's your funniest, most memorable, or inspiring Chiat Day story?
"When I first started working for Lee 15 years ago, he hadn't really warmed up to me yet, so to move things along I brought my new puppy Sadie into the office to meet him (he’s obviously a big dog guy). The first thing she did was run into his office, and pee on the newspaper that was laying at his feet. I was mortified, but he just looked at Sadie and said, 'That’s okay, I’ve already read that section.' Then he smiled at me – from that day on, it’s been great."

What account(s) do you work on?
"I’ve been the PA to Lee Clow for 15 years, and a couple of years ago he gave me the new title of 'cultural attaché.' How cool is that?"
