Lesley A. Starks
Senior Project Manager & Creative Operations Specialist
Meet Lesley
I’m a Senior Project Manager and Creative Operations Specialist with over a decade of experience leading cross-functional teams and keeping complex marketing campaigns on track from start to finish. My background spans higher education, CPG, and automotive, and I’ve worked across in-house and agency environments.
I bring structure, clarity, and a calm presence to every project. Whether I’m building timelines, managing creative workflows, or aligning teams around a shared goal, I make sure the vision gets executed with excellence. I believe strong operations are what turn ideas into impact, and I’m proud to be the one who makes it all come together.
Right now, I’m pursuing a Digital Marketing certification from Full Sail University while preparing for PMP certification through PMI. I run my own company, FRK Atelier Co., and I’m actively exploring hybrid or remote senior-level roles in Marketing Project Management or Creative Operations.
