Stephanie Berman, Global Chief Creative Officer, commented, “Jon is exactly the kind of creative leader The Bloc was built for—bold, collaborative, and driven by the belief that great work can do real good. His appointment is a powerful statement of where we are headed creatively as a business, and I couldn’t be more excited to be building this next chapter alongside him.”
