Ariana Stolarz

Argentinean by birth. New Yorker by choice. Curious by nature and an avid student of humans – Ariana has spent her career unearthing, tracking and understanding human behavior and decoding people’s drivers to interact with media and technology; examining and shaping the way in which people relate with family, friends, colleagues, and strangers through technology; coming up with novel ideas that creatively engage people beyond technology.

Ariana is the Global Chief Strategy Officer at MRM//McCann, and is fully committed to helping brands grow meaningful relationships with people. Her innate understanding of how to connect with people stems from her two decades of being plugged into the world of strategy. She has crafted strategy at the local, hyper-local, regional, national and global levels, and she has worked with multicultural and general market audiences.

Ariana is also a Board Director at PVBLIC Foundation. Through her work and speaking engagements at the United Nations, she continues to push forward her commitment to harnessing the power of media to drive social change by raising awareness and activating citizens globally around the Sustainable Development Goals.

Ariana has an M.A. in Media Studies from The School of Public Engagement at The New School. Ariana likes to cook and takes pleasure in interior design. She is also a black belt in Tae Kwon So, so be careful, be very careful.
