She joined Greenfield as COO one year ago from Colgate-Palmolive, where she held a number of senior level positions. During her career, Stallworth-Hooper has also held marketing and general management roles at Coca-Cola, RJR/Nabisco, and Hunt Wesson Foods. She has a BA in Radio, Television and Film from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Stallworth-Hooper, who previously worked at Greenfield as MD from 1997 to 2001, was chosen by the firm's founder Andy Greenfield to lead the agency.
