Ethology’s Account Directors hold a pretty important role. They’re the head of client accounts, drivers of change, solution oriented thinkers, advisers to clients on all things business strategy, and the ones who rally Ethologists to think bigger, do better, and achieve more. In short, they live by one motto: Put our clients first, or someone else will.
