Jim Holbrook

Jim Holbrook is Chief Executive Officer of Daymon Worldwide, a position to which he was appointed in September 2015. He is also a member of the board of directors. Jim’s prior leadership experience was at Post Holdings, which he joined in 2011 when it was spun off from Ralcorp. He was named President of Post Foods, the flagship cereal business, in 2012, and in 2014 was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Post Consumer Brands, which comprised the cereal business as well as Power Bar and other company acquisitions in the nutrition products category. In 2005, Jim was recruited for the CEO role at EMAK, a then-publicly traded portfolio of marketing agencies that was going through Chapter 11 restructuring. He engineered the transition to a privately-held company. Before leaving for Post Holdings, Jim launched a new agency at EMAK (called Neighbor) that was focused on socially-conscious companies and products. Jim started his career at Procter & Gamble following his graduation from Vanderbilt University in 1981. He moved to Ralston Purina (now Nestlé Purina) three years later, and spent the next twelve years in roles of increasing responsibility in marketing, brand management, sales, and operations management. As Vice President, Customer Development, Jim was responsible for growing a $300 million sales base, including the design and implementation of an integrated sales and marketing team. For his last two years at Ralston Purina, he served as President of Beechnut and Assistant to the Chairman of Ralston Purina. In 1996, Jim left Ralston Purina to become CEO of Zipatoni, an ad agency of which he was a part owner. He sold the business to Interpublic Group in 2001, where he remained for another three years in an executive role leading a number of IPG’s agencies.
