As the VP of Delivery & Operations at Human, Drew runs the day-to-day operation of the agency.
He is accountable for translating company strategy into execution, owning delivery across the business, managing capacity and margin, and building the operating systems that keep complex, multi-channel work shipping profitably and at scale.
He leads the directors spanning strategy, creative, growth, and operations, and sets the processes, staffing models, and delivery infrastructure the agency runs on.
Professional Background
Before Human, Drew served as COO and CFO of Lineage, a sports, entertainment, and creative agency he helped grow from an early-stage startup into a multi-million-dollar business serving some of the biggest names in sports, media, gaming, retail, and technology. What began as a boutique company representing professional athletes across the NBA, NHL, MLB, and NFL evolved into one of the leading agencies in athlete marketing, social content, branded entertainment, and high-volume creative production.
At Lineage, Drew helped lead the company through multiple eras of growth. The agency first built its reputation by managing and monetizing the digital presence of professional athletes, eventually working with a roster that reached hundreds of millions of fans. From there, Lineage expanded into work with major sports teams and leagues, building content engines for organizations like the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, Fox Sports, the MLBPA, and the NBPA. That foundation then opened the door to major brand and platform work with companies including Amazon, Lowe’s, BODYARMOR, Riot Games, Niantic, Instacart, PrizePicks, FIGS, PwC, and others.
As COO and CFO, Drew was responsible for the business infrastructure behind that growth: finance, operations, delivery, pricing, forecasting, staffing, contracts, client operations, production logistics, and margin protection. He helped scale Lineage from $2.8M in annual revenue to more than $15M, while guiding the company through nine consecutive profitable years in a volatile, project-driven agency market.
Drew’s work has also crossed into premium entertainment and branded content. He produced The Mask with Henrik Lundqvist, a New York Emmy Award-winning television series created with MSG Networks, Chase, Volvo, and the New York Rangers, and served as Producer and Executive in Charge of Vince Carter: Legacy, a feature-length documentary produced with the NBPA and later distributed on Crackle and Amazon Prime.
